What government do they want to break up?
I agree.
They broke up Ma Bell years ago and look at all the innovation it spurned.
Waay to powerful an monopoly.
Break up the government or FB?
FB is now in the Enforcement Group of the Ministry of Truth. It promotes leftist thoughts and suppresses normal ones. It should not be broken up. It should be eliminated.
A break-up might even make Zuckerberg richer.
When the Supreme Court ordered the break-up of Standard Oil in May 1911 (into the companies that become Exxon, Chevron, Mobile, Amaco, etc...) John D. Rockefeller saw his wealth triple overnight when shares of each separate company began trading.
One story is - Rockefeller was out golfing with a Catholic priest from near his home on the Hudson River in NY. When he heard the news of the Supreme Court decision, he said to his golfing partner:
“Father Lennon, have you some money?” And the priest was very startled by the question and said, “No.” And then he said, “Why?”
Rockefeller replied, “Buy Standard Oil.”
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, in stark contrast to alleged monopoly-breaking power, Clause 8 of Section 8 expressly gives the feds the power to grant temporary monopolies, such protection challengeable in court.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries [emphasis added];"
Corrections, insights welcome.
If FB and Twitter were to suddenly ban all terrorist organizations and people calling for violence against Republicans, the Democrats would shut it down the next day.
In my 27 years working for Intel, EVERY employee was trained to understand the implications of Anti-Trust and how one employee mistake could seriously damage Intel.
FB crossed that border back when they used their tools to elect Obama and then support Hillary while selling personal info for monetary and political reasons.
Intel hosted a speech by the then GOP Governor back in I think ‘96, Pete Wilson.
There were protests all over Silicon Valley.
It was the last time Intel was involved openly in Politics
Z keeps taking more body hits/slams from those who know all about him!
