Notice how he never mentioned Twitter. Probably because it's a leftist toilet. When HuffPo shut down it's comment section it's pretty much where all their leftists went. And since Facebook is where the Conservatives hang out, sure, let's shut that one down. Go ahead. We didn't need FB to figure out Clinton was trash and we don't need it to figure it out for Biden.
While I do not agree with the notion of breaking up Facebook, the idea isn’t based on censorship, it is based on an interpretation of what is considered a monopoly. Breaking up Facebook means dividing ownership between multiple companies, but what those companies are allowed to put on their website remains unchanged
Facebook doesn't have a monopoly on social media. It's a political pot shot directed at FB for 'supposedly' helping Trump win the election.
Twitter? A "Leftist Toilet"? When the cesspool that Twitter has become is completely dominated by Trump's Mentally-Deranged Brain Diarrhea? Honestly, I couldn't care less what happens to Facebook. Banning some of the RW Tinfoil Hats was a good start for Facebook. And, if Twitter had any brains they would ban Trump. Just to see the kind of fit he would throw.
I agree with the former portion of your post, but the problem in the rationale to the second part of your post is dividing Facebook into multiple companies would do absolutely nothing to prevent foreign entities from doing the same thing all over again. It makes no sense for that to be the motive for breaking up the company
not much into facebook, log in 3/4 times a year, but wife uses it weekly, i'd have to see exactly where they have all their fingers dipped into before I can say that its a good or a bad idea to break them up, I know they do a LOT but since I don't use any social media much I have zero clue. I've always used an adblocker so I never see advertisements on FB, but I assume most people don't block. honestly as far as I'm concerned, facebook could disappear tomorrow and would only know because the news would tell me and of course there would be mini riots in the street I assume, otherwise i'd be logging in July or August and see 404 not found and say" facebook is closed, oh well"
Since I don't live near the rest of my family, FB is a good way to keep up with events and share pics of the kids growing up, I even reconnected with 2 old flames from the past. But if people get their news and voting instructions from what they see on FB, then they're idiots. BTW, I see more hateful stuff towards Trump than I do stuff that favors him.
So true! The liberals in this country disgust me! Their words and their actions are treasonous at best! They have zero comprehension of our Constitution and when anyone brings it up, they just want to suggest it is an old document that needs to go away!
I see more anti trump than pro trump by far, but generally that's two hardcore dem relatives that are quite vocal. It was one reason I thought the whole facebook/trump/russia thing was ridiculous, since it was 5 to 1 anti trump on my account. IMO if anything FB helped was easily pro clinton, BUT the pro clinton/anti trump crap (for me at least) ended up looking pro trump because it was so stupid and ridiculous it made me dislike the pro clinton stuff so much that I would vote for her. I had one cousin that is/was Soooooo, ridiculously vocal and I had to hide her profile. That actually came up in conversation recently when I visited up north and the vocal cousin told me about one of the kids winning an award and I said I didn't know about it. "it was all over facebook" < "sorry, I hid your profile shortly after the 2016 election, your political crap was too much" <but of course all I got was the "your loss" look. oh well. So I do keep tabs on the cousins and stuff but not those particular cousins kids because of the political BS that I choose to ignore.
This is the only thing that I agree with Biden on(not enought to make me vote for him.) Facebook and Google have become wayyyyy to powerful and have wormed their way in to just about every aspect of society.
Or free speech. I don't know that the 1st Amend requires the US to allow a company to sell a product to US users that real time allows terrorists to broadcast murdering people.
This is an issue that began with Thomas Jefferson and his allies, who wanted to break up large estates. You can't have an egalitarian society if one entity, or few, get so big that others can't compete. Jefferson and Franklin both wrote about the fear of entities becoming so wealthy that they could corrupt politics. Jefferson argued for a large legislative body, because he thought, the more legislatures, the harder to buy them off. There have been a few split-ups of monopolies, like Standard Oil and AT&T. Personally I think that more companies should be broken up. Like Amazon. I've always thought that Microsoft should have been split into two parts. Some banks should be split, as well as media companies. In fact, I would very much be in favor of a law that required all corporations to split into parts, once they reach a certain size. It is all about fair play, and fair competition.
