Tell the FBI all the incendiary things Mark Zuckerberg bragged about when he was a 19 year old college student trying to build Facebook into a profitable company?
In what way is Facebook a dangerous monopoly?
It's not.
Any Conservative, any deeply religious person, could build their own imitation Facebook with software tools that are widely available on the Web.
Don't prosecute. Don't sue. Don't bitch.
Just go out into the real world and compete against him.
We do not need anti-trust enforcement. Facebook is regulated by the CDA/230; it is legally obligated to operate as a non-publishing “open platform” in exchange for Federal protection from content liability.
That is the law. Our apparatchiks do not enforce it, but it is the law. Facebook and these other publicly-traded corporations (not private companies) are being allowed to have their cake and eat it too: both protection and publishing.
That is the truth, that is a fact. If you do not like it, then advocate for repeal of CDA, but the one-sided pseudo-free-market mantra is disingenuous propaganda.
And I dare you to tell the SEC that any of these giants is a PRIVATE company that operates in a regulation-free market. Operating in the private sector does NOT equal being a private company. (IPO = Initial PUBLIC Offering.)
If they are categorized as a publisher, I agree.
There have been a lot of competitors. The problem is Facebook buys them up and either puts them out of business or keeps them going like Instagram and WhatsApp
