This now common argument doesn’t hold water. What if regulation restricted one social network per holding corporation? If Facebook was to lose Instagram and WhatsApp it would be a huge blow to the company, while also promoting a competitive business environment where major social networks can’t simply buy the competition out of existence.
- hanklazard 9y agoWhat you’re suggesting sounds more along the lines of antitrust and seems unlikely (though sounds great to me). I think that regulation around data security would be more likely and is what most people are suggesting. Whether this type regulation could be written competently in the US is my concern.
