Last week, President Trump tweeted about potentially exploring regulation for companies such as Google, citing a report that claimed searching for “Trump News” pulls up disproportionately left-leaning results. Seemingly overnight, some conservatives like Laura Ingraham have made an about-face from their usual skepticism of government intervention in private business to floating full-throated support for government regulation of Google on national television.

Conservatives have every right to be suspicious when government seeks to regulate the marketplace. But where is this skepticism when it comes to social media? Only a few months ago, conservatives were mocking the Left for their inflammatory rhetoric on the repeal of Internet regulations like net neutrality.
