Breaking up companies like Facebook is an option we should look at: Arizona AG

When asked about Sandberg's comments, Brnovich replied: "We need to be really careful when the people that helped create the problem are now telling us how best to address the problem."

Brnovich is one of several state attorneys general studying the issue, thanks to concerns over things such as the manipulation of what's being seen by users and the lack of competition, and secondary issues, such as the effect on traditional reporting. And no matter the party affiliation, "We all recognize this is a major and significant problem," he said. "It is one of the biggest issues facing the country, and we need to get on top of it because there are ramifications for all of us."

I think Facebook is dangerous, and should probably be broken up. Or at the very least, be held to higher standards by governing bodies. Social media in general should, and so should media corporations

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. It’s like purposely hanging out in an outhouse at a week long outdoor festival. If he were alive then, he would probably have wept about the breakup of Ma Bell.

Thanks for your endorsement of our social media overlords. I smell antisemitism! Ha! Ha!

Andrew Yang says big tech companies would be 'well served' if broken upDemocratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang says big technology conglomerates like Facebook, Google and Amazon would be 'well served' if broken up into smaller companies as some of his Democratic opponents have proposed. Google IS the government Is it better that one large and corrupt team of software engineers can access our DMs and see our junk, or multiple smaller ones? Only time will tell. He does not have the right to dictate how other people run their companies. He does not have the right to dictate how other people do anything.
