The worst argument against breaking up Facebook
For the second time this week, two of the most ideologically opposed members of the Senate, Josh Hawley and Bernie Sanders, are arguing essentially the same thing: that Facebook, which is currently the defendant in antitrust lawsuits involving dozens of states, should be broken up. This has the makings of an amusing old-fashioned buddy comedy.
One thing we will get used to hearing from Facebook and its allies over the next few months is that because we have done virtually nothing in the last two decades to check the power of the tech monopolies, we cannot possibly consider doing so now.
