It's super simple and dead obvious why news agencies are scared to report on the inefficiencies:
they're afraid of the impact of pissing off the ISP's as the ISP's have continued to grow (and in many cases, control many media sources). So they do nothing because of course they won't.
This is a bit overblown. You throw a lot of stuff together that aren't necessarily linked. The problem at it's core, is people willingly or coincidentally, entirely missing what's happening in a situation and yet trying to regulate it anyway.
Thus, the problem isn't the regulation or a lack thereof, but the heavy-handed results.
Abdictating the regulation to "parent better" isn't really an answer to the situation either.
All of this basically ignores that Facebook could do better. It's not just that people need to do better themselves as well, and the one is not mutually exclusive of the other.

Oh man! how will we survive! We've only had tv signals going through walls for an entire century now and cellphone signals going through walls for a few decades, and wifi for a few decades. Clearly this is all scary and too new for us!

Things like this have reminded me why I vowed to never spend another penny that can ever go to contributing to RIAA/MPAA wallets ever again. Either I get things third party or I get them from independent musicians/artists/actors who have no association. The only thing the RIAA/MPAA has done to society over the years is a significant number of bad things, ranging from getting people to not share ideas due to copyright, to believing false information from movie magic.
They already do drive tests for their own engineering and also customer complaints. So for them to say it's too expensive is rich when they should already have data.
