The House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee determined Facebook wields monopoly powers in social network and has maintained its position by acquiring, copying or killing its competitors, according to a report released by the subcommittee on Tuesday.
I’m not even being cynical; just honestly asking. I have no idea if these kind of recommendations have been made before, or if this is first of its kind.
This report comes out of a subcommittee in the House of Representatives, the only arm of US government currently controled by the Democratic party.
Facebook has been overtly embracing its destiny as a toxic right-wing echo chamber for years now, so I would expect Democrats to very correctly come after them for all the wrong reasons, if they gain the power to do so, otherwise certainly nothing will change.
Even if the Democrats do gain the power, I wouldn’t be surprised if facebook manages to buy their way out of any real setbacks… because money is the only thing that actually matters in the US at this point.
Is this actually going to get anywhere?

Lol, no. sigh
