“There are network effects around social products and a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different.” - Mark Zuckerberg

99% of the complaints/grievances with facebook apply directly to FB itself. How does separating WhatsApp and facebook address misinformation or the formation of these terrorist groups?
Googles the only company I believe needs to be broken up... the rest our fine, and benefitting consumers.

Let them cook breh... they do this every week.
It's silly. The truth is they want the internet to be deprivatized and this is just another attempt at making an argument.
At the core, it appears people are mad these social media company are good at advertising.
How dare youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc target people with their interests and get paid as a result.
precisely.
Trump wants to be popular AND at the popular table.
He could take his shyt to Gab, but he'd be like the 10th most racist person there
Tell him to start a blog...maybe he'll learn how to speak better
only thing I want to happen is for some of these mergers to be prevented
outside of that, I dont give a fukk what they do on their platforms.
if they want to be responsible, of course they'll ban racists and right wing bullshyt, but that would require everyone to have my morals and I can't always count on that.

They arent separate issues. If a company is buying up/killing competition while determining what speech is on their platform, they go together.They should be able to do whatever when it comes to free speech with their own private businesses. the problem is the government allowing them to consolidate and buy up competition which is a separate issue imo. If that didn't occur these social media apps wouldn't have so much mindshare over the online communication.

This is what happens when you have too much Matt Stoller on your breath.
This is a bad argument and you are a bad person for saying it.
No one gives a flying fukk about them profiting off that shyt.
Twitter realized he was a liability to their image and canned him. These companies been allowing all sorts of prostitution and pornography and right wing shyt. Trump crossed the line and got canned.
You'll live. Go find another alt-Fash-lite to signal boost. Your tone trolling falls on empty ears.
"Mr. Trump, who I do not support..."
nah, this is dumb too.
twitter isn't a public utility.
No matter how much yall say this dumb shyt it will never be true. the INFRASTRUCTURE(pipes ) of the internet, sure. 
Break Facebook up all you want. Thats fine by me. But people are gonna post dumb shyt and the only way to fix that is to impose a social cost. You can't regulate that shyt beyond a shadow of a doubt. Unless you become China, which I know will backfire in due time so just watch that space...
Just websites? Hell no
You can use Bing or DuckDuckGo or whateverthefukk

Their profiting off targetted ads has killed local news
Now you have people getting their news on FB and algorithms put them to mainly big right wing pages that game that shid and has brain washed so many people.
Removing the section 230 liability protections for profiting off targetted ads will help fix this problem
