Rep. Peter Welch (D., Vt.) floated the possibility of a new public entity to oversee the online world and take over some of the difficult decisions that the companies now make over content moderation and other issues.
That's gotten at least a smattering of support in Congress, particularly given the Federal Trade Commission's sometimes tepid performance in overseeing the online environment. Some supporters believe a new agency could develop more expertise than the FTC, which has to oversee vast swaths of the brick-and-mortar economy as well.
