Edit: I clearly did…
Some countries (mostly of the EU) already try to enforce some control against this kind of monopolies but they are still too bland.
And competition fails to appear thanks to the WhatsApp effect. If most of the content/friends are on it, its not easy to change to another platform unless something drastic happens (like the Great Firewall).

that being said, it is also their right to shut down whatever content Russia/China/Iran/etc finds disagreeable, I'm sure you don't mind that either.
