Don't Split Facebook

I'm getting really steamed up about bullsh*t articles in the media suggesting that Facebook should be split up. I mean, what tripe is this? They are a private company, offering a free service on the Internet, to which users sign up voluntarily! Ok, they have made a few mistakes with sharing data with advertisers and other "marketers", but they said that they'd be more careful in future. Never forget, individual users get to determine their own privacy settings.

I'm seeing articles written by (multi-millionaire) ex-employees who think the Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become "too powerful". All this because billions of people find Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp fun to use? Give me a break.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told CNN's Jake Tapper that "we need to seriously take a look" at breaking up Facebook, which she claimed is "essentially a utility that has gone unregulated". Listen lady, it became a utility because its team shed sweat, blood and tears to make it that way. And its shareholders (myself included) contributed our hard earned savings to invest in their stock. Really, politicians grind my gears.
