we'll solve it more decisively by breaking Facebook up.
Good luck with that. Facebook is not based in a socialist country. In Europe, by now they’d have undoubtedly been broken up or even taken over by the government, with revenues either flowing directly to the government or collected through high tax rates, fees, and fines.
That is not the case here, where Facebook is based. I barely use Facebook for personal purposes, but I respect their right to exist, innovate, and make a profit. I also have a sense of logical personal responsibility that seems to be missing the the anti-Facebook folks. When I share something publicly, I fully expect that it will be...shared publicly. When I agree to be bound by the terms of conditions of a website...I agree to be bound by their terms and conditions. Somehow that is lost on all the people whining about it. How can anybody do business with or even employ people that publicly state that they do not recognize contract law?

Large companies based in Europe that haven't been "broken up and taken over" by "the government": Royal Dutch Shell (UK & Netherlands) BP (UK) Total (France) Volkswagen (Germany) Daimler (Germany) BNP Paribas (France) Carrefour (France) Banco Santander (Spain) Fiat (Italy) BMW (Germany) etc. etc. etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_European_companies_by_revenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_European_compa...
