Not Many

They damn well are.

Big companies aren't bad... for the big companies' shareholders.

Please, look at Mark Zuckerberg face, and say it again.

Big companies are neither good nor bad. Unlike the USA, they are not people and do not have a moral competency. The human owners and management on the other hand ... 🤔

It’s a conundrum: for all the good it does, without sites like Facebook there would be no trump, no Brexit. It’s like the Murdoch press except it does have some positives.

Imagine if standard oil was still around....

Ugh, cringe.

The problem is not that a few rich have so much, the problem is that they create systems and conditions where everyone else has so little.

Big isn't bad, Facebook is bad

Interesting. Is that what they're afraid of? People thinking 'big' is not so wonderful after all. Rushing to the defense of 'big' is probably a good indicator that bigness might have some rather 'big' (!) downsides.

Big companies aren't bad, they are evil

Zuckerman is a weinie.

Big companies are bad. They control markets and limit choice to consumers.

View points.

Theyvare when they exercise monopoly powers and suppress free speechz

This is gonna be awesome, as long as the witnesses will actually get a chance to speak.

They aren't bad. They're scum. They scrounge on and exploit hard working people. They scam, corrupt and do absolutely anything it takes to make a buck. Sickening!

Said by the big companies 🤡🤡

The evidence would appear otherwise. Why would anyone trust any statement from a billionaire. The mere fact that they've become one tells you everything you need to know about their character.

Does this mean the whole world gets to watch Ocasio-Cortez give some ultra rich tech dudes a tune-up again?

The face of both fake futurism & plutocretinism.

Lmao

Big companies are bad when they associated with Chinazi censorship

yes, they are bad

Big companies ARE bad when they dont pay their share of taxes based on profits and thus deprive national treasuries from precious income and we end up paying a very high income tax ! They are bad corporate citizens !!

'The American Way' Zuck stole the idea of Facebook from two twins at Harvard. Bill Gates stole from Steve Jobs and monopolized the software industry. Trump conned the Fed Gov into tax breaks then hired a lawyer with ties to the mafia to strong arm his purchases in Atlantic City.

Unbelievable. Bonfire of the vanities.

COMPAÑIAS MONOPOLICAS DE BUFFET QUE PERJUDICAN LA DEMOCRACIA A NIVEL MUNDIAL

Not all big companies, but fb of course!

Ay, but his most certainly is....

Maybe, but censorship in any form is

True, it's like MacIntyre, institutions are only as just or unjust as the people in them.

Zuckerberg has never held himself accountable for all the privacy violations Facebook has been involved in. He’s the last person to testify at an antitrust hearing. He’s the pinnacle of hypocritical.
