Why We Should Just Nationalize Facebook

I have a modest proposal: Let's nationalize Facebook. Just have the U.S. government take controlling ownership of the company. We've done it before, sometimes in the case of emergencies and wars, but also in the case of natural monopolies. That's an instance where the natural costs to enter a market are really high, but operating costs for a business once it's entered the market are low, so there are natural barriers to competition.
