I saw a documentary on Mark Zuckerberg that I found troubling in its exposing of his lack of conscience and ruthless way of dealing with and dominating people.
Dealing with him and his political objectives is not something I think our DOJ can handle.
Just bankrupt them to death with lawfare like they do.
Monopolies and oligopolies are not consistent with free markets. In this case, government action against monopolies protect the individual’s right to compete.
Monopolies drive competitors out of business by selling below cost. Then when they have taken over the market, they overcharge and quality goes down. Standard Oil, Railroads and ATT are classic examples.
They also lobby government officials to support regulations that thwart upstart competitors. They also use the legal system to engage in “lawfare” to drive out smaller competitors.
So, opposition to monopolies should not be considered antithetical to free markets and the proper use of government to protect individual rights.
The diminishing power of facebook...
Fixed it...
>> antitrust proceedings against tech giants Google, Amazon, and Facebook
Comcast and TWC/ATT are far worse. And you subscribers should speak up!

The idea that the Hard Left totally corrupt Department of Justice, and the politically corrupt federal judiciary, are going to dismantle or regulate Facebook and Google is a sick comedy.
Ehh, just lob a couple of multi-megaton nukes on Silicon Valley. Didn’t one of the CA Congresscritters just threaten to nuke gun owners? So turnabout is fair play, right?
It is a war they will lose.

FB and all the others will be doing what they were born to do: use the internet to promote leftist, hate-America values and to trash Trump.
There is no viable alternative to FB. I have family in other countries and it’s the only way to effectively communicate to all of them.
I know for a fact that certain posts do not reach certain people in specific countries - they’re censoring content at the behest of the respective government. FB is working directly with the Chinese government to control information.
This is evil and is far too much power for one company to have. Google, Paypal, YouTube, Twitter, etc. are no different. Voices are being silenced as well as being financially handicapped when Paypal cancels accounts. These are the same tactics that the Nazi’s used on the Jews.
Between this crap and globalism (open borders) we’re heading straight into a storm.
Clinton wrote the corporate shakedown for donations to his political party; Obama put his administration into the corporate board rooms. Trump will break the DNC corporate nexus and hit them with antitrust.
Conflict of interest much?
