Regulating information, while it's fairly common at some levels (e.g. school manuals, one of the largest sources of legal information control, and one often abused for nationalistic lies in every country's history), is a very dangerous thing for governments to get into. Do you think the Trump government would be more likely to correct the NYT or Alex Jones if they had the ability to regulate news stories?

There are many ways to tackle regulation that don’t involve giving the keys to fickle administrations.
