- holy heck. they casted the sh*t out of that eh. -- nm - Jovian May 9, 09:26

Facebook co-founder says it's time to break up the social media giant -- (link) - Beaker May 9, 09:09 15
- Maybe they should break it down to one Facebook per college. -- nm - Max May 9, 10:13
- I'd be more in favor of splitting up Amazon. Facebook (like most social media products) needs regulation, not to be broken up probably. -- nm - oblique May 9, 09:55
- Please. I assume it's bleeding subscribers like mad. It's becoming less and less relevant. Its influence is waning. -- nm - Mop May 9, 09:12 1
  - which is why they purchased Instagram and WhatsApp and their influence is perhaps growing -- nm - JD May 9, 09:16
- I dont see how a breakup makes it any better. Its Security and oversight that lacks -- nm* - budice May 9, 09:10 9
  - Because (ideally) competition means that security and oversight becomes a differentiator forcing everyone to raise standards. -- nm - Roger More May 9, 09:27
  - I don't get how it would even work. You get the Happy Face like button, YOU get the angry like button, you get the poop emoji -- nm - Beaker May 9, 09:11 7
    - More like FB, WhatsApp and Insta get split into three companies -- nm - Roger More May 9, 09:27 6
      - then they shouldn't of let them buy them in the first place (and word to your next post) -- nm - Beaker May 9, 09:33 4
        
        Things change fast in tech - when FB bought Insta seven years ago, it had 30 million users and no revenue. - Roger More May 9, 09:38 3
        
        then it boils down to "you are too successful, so we are going to break you" -- nm - Beaker May 9, 09:53 2
        
        More or less, though people are just talking about possible solutions at the moment. - Roger More May 9, 10:51
        
        Like the beginning of radio, you had two networks, nbc began expansion of a 2nd. They had to split it off into ABC -- nm - zeitgeist May 9, 10:20
      - (Though I don't know how that would work either) -- nm - Roger More May 9, 09:30
- Here here! -- nm - Spawn May 9, 09:10
