Will Facebook Be Broken Up?

10 Dec 2020 09:38 #1 by FredHayek
Forty plus states and the US government are looking into breaking up Facebook. How would they do it? Force them to spin off other social media platforms like Instagram? We are about to get in a new administration, will someone in President Biden's cabinet want to set a big example and go after this 600 pound gorilla? And maybe it is time for Zuckerberg to step aside? There has to be someone with more charm and charisma to represent this international behemoth.

An old article, but it comes from one of these "trusted sources" that weren't quite as obvious about who their masters were back then. Facebook isn't going anywhere nor is Zuckerberg.

Was reading the WSJ today about the possible breakup and it would be tough to tear Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook. The companies are very interconnected and share much of the same software and security tools. But they were able to break up Standard Oil and Ma Bell so it could be done. Will the Biden Administration decide to use up some of their political capital to do it?

lol Facebook is in Biden’s corner and possibly gave the largest in kind donation in history without having to report it. You really think he’s gonna jump on that train?
