It’s Time to Break Up Facebook

The government must hold Mark accountable. For too long, lawmakers have marveled at Facebook’s explosive growth and overlooked their responsibility to ensure that Americans are protected and markets are competitive. Any day now, the Federal Trade Commission is expected to impose a $5 billion fine on the company, but that is not enough; nor is Facebook’s offer to appoint some kind of privacy czar. After Mark’s congressional testimony last year, there should have been calls for him to truly reckon with his mistakes. Instead the legislators who questioned him were derided as too old and out of touch to understand how tech works. That’s the impression Mark wanted Americans to have, because it means little will change.

We forget how young these companies are. Government regulations are not up to speed with today’s tech and consumer usage. The anti trust lawsuits in Europe against Google (and their Android operating system) should serve as a premonition of things to come. DOJ just launched their investigation into Google, Amazon, etc...States are following as well:
