Is Mark Zuckerberg really that powerful? Or, as @alexismadrigal puts it: “What could an evil Zuckerberg do?” https://t.co/3KXmhLb9B4

Mark Zuckerberg controls @Facebook, @Instagram, and @WhatsApp — 3 of the 5 most popular communication tools on the planet. In many countries, Zuckerberg’s products are the internet. https://t.co/bscQN4lKeu #FridayFeeling #HESM

How Powerful Is Mark Zuckerberg?
— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) May 9, 2019
Very. https://t.co/nlhbBPdqL2
“Breaking up the company probably would not (immediately) solve the problems ... But it would take one major, underappreciated risk out of the future: that Mark Zuckerberg decides to wield the tremendous power he has so far eschewed.” https://t.co/UhaHU4ep91

I’m calling for breaking up @Facebook in an essay in the @nytimes. FB has become too big and too powerful, and it’s part of a trend in our economy of an increasing concentration of corporate power. We can fix this: break the company up and regulate it. https://t.co/34rITPfvJ9

I applaud Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes for sounding the alarm on the dangers of unchecked corporate power. We are living in an era of monopolies that dominate every aspect of our lives—including our government. It’s time to take that power back. https://t.co/L3eEofZtnh

The Chris Hughes piece on Facebook today is excellent, and I'm not sure why people are dunking on him. We need regulation and antitrust action not because Zuckerberg is a villain, because this level of power is too much for any one person to handle https://t.co/JihGRY5b0r pic.twitter.com/Yne3FiKB60

“Because Facebook so dominates social networking, it faces no market-based accountability. This means that every time Facebook messes up, we repeat an exhausting pattern: first outrage, then disappointment and, finally, resignation.” https://t.co/vXchCYQFBW

Lots of greatness in this Chris Hughes OpEd: "... would-be competitors can’t raise the money to take on Facebook. Investors realize that if a company gets traction, FB will copy its innovations, shut it down or acquire it for a relatively modest sum..." https://t.co/PbkN4H379N

Facebook co-founder @ChrisHughes says it's time to break up @Facebook in a new @NYTimes essay.

This piece by @chrishughes is the most devastating analysis of Facebook I’ve read, mainly because of Hughes’ intimacy with how the product developed and Mark Zuckerberg https://t.co/XrhGwpFVuj

Chris Hughes’ piece sets forth points that are widely made in expert discussions about Facebook today – with the added frisson of apostasy and gossip. It has one major aspect that confuses me, and second about which I think Hughes himself is confused. 1/ https://t.co/TfMz4p6sCR
— Daphne Keller (@daphnehk) May 9, 2019
Chris Hughes is right. Today’s big tech companies have too much power—over our economy, our society, & our democracy. They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private info for profit, hurt small businesses & stifled innovation. It's time to #BreakUpBigTech. https://t.co/rZMftEwlkN
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 9, 2019
Regulation is necessary but not sufficient. We need to rewire the technology and the business model that betrayed the original promise of social media. Abandon the Move Fast and Break Things credo. Support innovators who move with purpose and fix things https://t.co/kS9BDS7NhO

Thank you @ChrisHughes for calling upon regulators to check @Facebook's power. Members of Congress, executive agencies, and presidential candidates must act to protect users, workers, and everyone else that is threatened by #BigTech's growing influence. https://t.co/g8N716gZjl

It’s Time to Break Up #Facebook (The New York Times): One of Facebook’s co-founders calls for the social network to be broken up by regulators, arguing it has “unchecked power” and has created a monopoly and given “unilateral control over speech” https://t.co/NN0tTROdmn
— Xavier Amouroux (@XavierAmouroux) May 11, 2019
This alone is reason enough, but there are thousands more words worth reading from Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook: "There is no precedent for his (Zuckerberg's) ability to monitor, organize and even censor the conversations of two billion people." https://t.co/O3oM3sjJAv
— Molly Wood (@mollywood) May 9, 2019
Breakup Facebook & regulate it, says co-founder @chrishughes in this stunning essay. It seems to me Facebook IS the natural end of free-market capitalism. So, if FB needs serious reform, then the core tenets of capitalism need serious reform, no? @RBReich https://t.co/yrgz034NQJ
