Your solution means no real competition or innovation could take place in that space then. I know it was just a quick take but there's a lot of consequences to that route imo. There's also nothing saying that everyone always goes to one social platform. Facebook for instance bought all of their recent potential competitors so it's more of a self fulfilling prophecy right now and one that really needs to be handled by anti trust imo.
All I said was that YouTube should be treated as a utility - - e.g. you can't kick people off your service unless they've broken the law. That is the extent of its treatment as a utility. It doesn't prevent anyone from competing against them.
"All I said was that YouTube should be treated as a utility"
Right I don't think you've understood the implications of being a utility in the US.
In the US:
"Public utilities commissions may grant public utilities certain monopoly rights to facilitate servicing a given geographic area with a single system. For example, in California, prohibitions against anticompetitive behavior under the Unfair Practices Law do not apply to public utility corporations."
