Facebook Co-Founder Chris Hughes Says Company Should Be Broken Up

Chris Hughes, who helped Mark Zuckerberg create the company that eventually became Facebook Inc., is calling for the social-media giant to be broken up.

In a nearly 6,000 word opinion essay published online Thursday in the New York Times, Mr. Hughes said the Facebook chief executive has gained power that is both “unprecedented and un-American.”

Twitter is the platform I think has the biggest potential for abuse, it has turned into a political/news engine unlike any other.

Face is just a platform, a blank slate. The idiocy that users post on that platform is nearly impossible to control.

Facebook is on the way out. Already our young seldom use. These big enterprise companies day will come and day will go. Most big companies do. No need for the Govt to get involved. Capitalism will take it's course.

...overcoming christianity's 'imposed ignorance' and terror policies and practices,,,

Chris Hughes, opines: “No one knows exactly what Facebook’s competitors would offer to differentiate themselves.” I have some ideas:

Yes, and 100 years ago one could argue the same about the New York Post and/or other news publications.

I bet you Mark Zuckerberg is going to get money for copyright violation of the picture. how did you get that picture when he was so young? weird

This is the most UNPRECEDENTED news story in the history of America!

To all you people who used to be down with Zuckerberg and you left the company for whatever reason if this guy is supposed to be in here when the company started he should be as Rich as Zuckerberg and if he didn't get some of that money and he let it slip through his fingers ?!!

Zuckerberg is a thief.

let's go back to playing farmville and passing tchotchkes

Until you fools in Congress you Republicans who's following Donald Trump foreign policy he's going to run this country in the ground just like he did every business he ever got his hands on don't believe me check the records they speak plainly Donald Trump is the worst
