Facebook should be broken up into itty bitty tiny pieces.
Many Republican and conservative members of Congress are going to spend the day expressing indignation over Facebook's monopoly power, vowing to break them up. Great! There's a Dem majority on the House Antitrust Subcommittee waiting to do it. Join them! Put rhetoric into action.

No we should not ban pools, but in some places fences are mandated and I think that’s a good thing. You think a company should be able to put toxins in food, make a dangerous product, risk worker or consumer or environmental safety with no oversight whatsoever?

No it should not. That’s one of the reasons we have a government. Government agencies exist to look out for the welfare of consumers, not just make it easier for businesses. That’s why safety regulations exist. How could an individual consumer know the Pelatron was dangerous?

More than anywhere. In the opioid crisis, for instance, they made a deliberate effort to create a profit center around a product they knew was dangerous when over prescribed.

This is what is meant by “agency capture.”Safety agencies overseeing products, food etc. have been consistently disempowered over last few decades. They can only make polite “recommendations,” w/ less power now to actually take things off the shelves - & people die because of it.

No, they didn’t “make a mistake;” they made a calculated financial decision. And it should never have been only a “recommendation” to begin with. The safety agency should have been empowered from the beginning to shut it down until corrections were made. nytimes.com/2021/05/05/busin…
