Its true. And more importantly a lot of Democrats and Republicans agreed with him. This scares me. On the one hand he makes a convincing argument, on the other hand if I agree with Bannon it could be a sign I'm losing my marbles.
The good thing is the GOP is fairly consistent in their hypocrisy. They whine about too much regulation but when offered the chance to regulate something they dont like, they jump all over it.

Last month, POLITICO’s Nancy Scola reported: “Steve Bannon, while serving as Trump's chief strategist, reportedly floated the idea of treating Facebook and Google as public utilities, similar to the heavily regulated telephone industry — a departure from the traditional conservative focus on deregulation. Meanwhile, Breitbart News, the online publication Bannon now heads, often goes after tech companies for heavy-handedness and elitism. “Tech” is listed as a section of that site just after “Big Government,” “Big Journalism” and “Big Hollywood.” A recent story on Breitbart mocked a Google employee for importing Maine lobsters to the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.”
