Frustrating to see the antitrust actions against FB screw up from day one. Peeling off IG an Whatsapp, fine, whatever. What they should do is what the US did to AT&T: convert FB’s basic operations into open standards and protocols, break FB up into a bunch of ‘babybooks,’ and make them compete with differentiated offerings (say, with better privacy policies). Breaking up AT&T was crucial for creating the competitive telecom markets that made a few things possible like, oh, I dunno, the internet. That thing FB runs on. But somehow it didn’t occur to the people behind these FB lawsuits to use the most far-reaching and successful antitrust action of the last 50+ years as a model.
