It's bad news for Medium that the PR people for big tech companies can just publish directly to the NYT Opinion section now https://t.co/OWzfChUnMj

Just to give you a taste of how intellectually dishonest this piece is, Facebook tries to argue it isn’t a monopoly because some people use iMessage.https://t.co/I5uPlrpMl1

If by any chance you get to read Nick Clegg’s nauseating cant about Facebook, his new employer, don’t forget to have a sick-bag handy. And to think he was once a serious figure. https://t.co/y5JMn3lgzK #Hypocrisy

The lies in the Facebook op-ed start in the first sentence.

Facebook has been destructive to our democracy and process.

Facebook’s size has allowed it to support racism in housing, genocide in Myanmar, and election interference in multiple countries.https://t.co/hiY2PWjjfx pic.twitter.com/tinnPwk3Qu

I do love that the guy Facebook hired to argue against a breakup is the guy who failed to stop Brexit https://t.co/NORzLZAYOw

It would be insanely dishonest for Facebook's execs to pretend that calls for breaking up Facebook are due to it being "too big" or "too successful" -- and yet this is exactly what they do in this op-ed. It's not about success. It's about the epic damage. https://t.co/ws3XatHtBK

This is what sanction of the victim looks like:

According to FB...Breaking up Facebook is not the answer. Some interesting points here. But Ma Bell said pretty much the same thing. In the end, breaking up the old AT&T unleashed 40+ years of innovations and competitions in the US.https://t.co/UuxcymSs5W

The very 1st paragraph of Facebook’s op-ed pushes a blatant misreading of the case against the company, frames the case absurdly as if it’s all about Facebook’s success & size and not its BEHAVIOR and suggests it has a history of respecting user interests https://t.co/S7SGqmftCH pic.twitter.com/juUpQi8qvv

.@nick_clegg tries a piecemeal analysis of FB of each of its components separately. Wrong IMO. It is precisely the ability to use data across apps and web that gives FB unrivalled market power over our attention.
