Chris Hughes, one of the co-founders of Facebook, has called for the social media behemoth to be broken up, warning that Mark Zuckerberg had become far too powerful.

Mr Zuckerberg not only controls Facebook but also the widely used Instagram and WhatsApp platforms, and Mr Hughes said that Facebook's board works more like an advisory committee than a check on the chief executive's power.

He accused Facebook of acquiring or copying all of its competitors to achieve dominance in the social media field, meaning that investors were reluctant to back any rivals because they know they cannot compete for long. The company has been rocked by a series of scandals recently, including allowing its users' data to be harvested by research companies and its slow response to Russia using Facebook as a means to spread disinformation during the 2016 US election campaign.
