Grace4Privacy Nobody cares about data portability unless we’re talking about medical records. This is a red herring so that when Facebook misbehaves, they can say, “fine, you can just take your data and go play with somebody else.” Portability is meaningless unless there are other players.

Booker expresses caution about breaking up big companies like FacebookThe senator from New Jersey insisted his comments were not meant as criticism of Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren, who has called for stricter regulations to help unravel some tech giants. Everyone expresses caution about Booker. Should just get rid of the total shit show that is FB. Why people still subject themselves to it is beyond me.
