Facebook is beginning to mount its public defense to the notion of breaking the company up, after its cofounder urged regulators to take action.

to relinquish his stranglehold on the industry and for the company to be broken up, the tech giant has responded — and, surprise, it doesn't agree.

."Accountability of tech companies can only be achieved through the painstaking introduction of new rules for the internet. That is exactly what Mark Zuckerberg has called for. Indeed, he is meeting government leaders this week to further that work.", Hughes chronicled the rise of Facebook and how his college roommate, Zuckerberg, amassed too much power, in his view, along the way.

The early co-founder is calling for a breakup of Facebook, which he says would involve spinning off its Instagram and Whatsapp acquisitions. Hughes also wants more government regulation to make Facebook more accountable to Americans, specifically regarding its privacy controls and handling of user data.

Said the guy who has consistently failed to be accountable

techinsider Historically, breaking up successful American companies is exactly how you hold them accountable.

Facebook has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to regulate itself. Time for government regulation.

SAI Successful business that played a part of the genocide of the Rohingya Muslims, sold user data to third parties, provides tools and a platform to hate speech, tools for discriminatory advertising, served brexit to the UK and trump to America... Yeah there's no problem 🤷🏿‍♂

SAI facebook dude just fix your timeline to actually be a timline and your public/private posts to actually being private when you want it to be private.

Oh...yes it is. CENSORED

This guy is such a jerk off it’s a company’s like his and all other big companies that did the exact thing to mom and pop stores when America was great. This was the backbone of America and they destroyed it

Sure. (Sarcasm)
