It's a bit hilarious to me, that people advertise unchecked unfettered capitalism for internet companies, while arguing for regulation of every other company, say oil company X, due to externalities. Nobody's forcing you to buy gasoline silly!

Perhaps it is a function of groupthink. Regulation of the Internet is a relatively new phenomenon.

The suggestion that consumers of petroleum (rather than regulators) are responsible for negative outcomes is nearly a heresy in comparison.
