So that lets out FB and Google.

But, you see the problem don't you? Congress is the body that passes laws. They will never pass a law that disadvantages incumbents. This is the kind of thing that would have to be done with an amendment. So far all Constitutional amendments have originated with Congress. So, we need to get behind the other method mentioned in Article V which is a Convention of States. There is a movement pushing for one and it is gradually working its way through state legislatures. 2/3 of the states need to agree to call for the convention and progress is pretty slow. Probably due to the total lack of understanding of how the Convention will work. All you hear is misinformation warning people that there is nothing to stop it from "running away" and making an entirely new Constitution. Clearly a lie but the average reader has no clue that it is a lie so it rises in states whenever the vote for the Convention is due to come up.

The part that the people spewing the misinformation gloss over is that every amendment proposed by the Convention of States then has to go back to all 50 states for ratification. And 3/4 of all states must ratify the amendment to make it happen. Sometimes deadlines are attached to proposed amendments. Sometimes they simply hang on for years and years and years. I think the Equal Rights amendment is still looking for ratification. I sure hope this never happens. Apparently the women who have voted for it never read it. It's like the "gays for Palestine" folks. Pay attention only to the talking points. Don't read the contents or think about the ramifications.
It took a real President (a republican) to get the ball rolling to break up the monopolies last time it was this far out of balance. They aren't really trying to do that in modern times.

He didn't have a Congress that obstructed everything he did.
