How many companies has the United States government broken up since AT&T in 1982? I disagree with the premise of your statement in so many ways. The tech companies arent special, and if facebook is actually a publishing company, not only does it have a ton of competitors, but there are other consolidating entities that are scary big, that the government allows to merge. Facebook should be broken up because, despite more options than ever for reading, people CHOOSE to consume it? It would make more sense to use tobacco company style arguments against Facebook, that it is targeting people with an addictive product that is harmful to health and society. If one bought into that argument, the remedy would be to make the class of their actions illegal, not split them in half. Two smaller companies with the same behavior wouldnt be better, and realistically there would be nothing stopping everyone from consolidating back to one of the two products.
