I sincerely hope they get broken up.
Thoughts and prayers. (I don’t even know if I’m being sarcastic anymore)
Betchu they'll just send a check of 1 B to the FTC and say "that should pay the fine + interest" then go on with their day. Happened in a similar fashion before.
Happy cake day. Yes, I‘m afraid that could happen. We‘ll see.
breaking up Facebook is in the general interest of the fediverse, but how is the question.
In a perfect world, they would be cut into pieces not allowed to go over 999 mil usd but since that feverdream of mine is not becoming reality soon, I‘ll say they make them cut out departments that are not supposed to be vertically integrated like search engine and ad business. They pose a conflict of interest just by being in the same company.
