The monopoly case against Facebook
Why US regulators want to break up the social media giant
Why US regulators want to break up the social media giant. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and dozens of US states are arguing that Facebook is a monopoly that harms consumers. Ed Butler speaks to tech and anti-trust researcher Dina Srinivasan about why data privacy is at the centre of the arguments over Facebook's monopoly power. Former FTC chairman Bill Kovacic explains why breaking up the social media giant is still a distant possibility. And the 成人快手's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones discusses the rising anti-tech sentiment among both US and European regulators.
