Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook along with Mark Zuckerburg, wrote an article on the New York Times calling for the break-up of the tech giant.

“The Facebook that exists today is not the Facebook that we founded in 2004”, Chris observed, “the one that we have today I think is far too big. It’s far too powerful. And most importantly, its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is not accountable”.

In response, Facebook’s VP of global affairs and communication, Nick Clegg, wrote that “you don’t enforce accountability by calling for the break up of a successful American company”. Clegg was a former UK politician in the Liberal Democrats party, which is leftist and pro-EU.

There’s no doubt that Facebbok is a “successful American company”. It rode on the coattails of good ol’ American free market and free speech to entice billions of users worldwide.

And now, the firm has backstabbed the very American-ness that birthed its success.

As many conservatives are familiar with, Facebook’s moves to curb extremism and fake news often resulted in conservative content being censored. Prominent right-wingers and right-wing organizations, such as Alex Jones and InfoWars, have faced bans and censors.

Additionally, Facebook has come under congressional scrutiny for its excessive privacy violations. “Americans deserve better privacy from Big Brother Facebook,” stated Ronald Doncon, a cybersecurity analyst. 

“In some cases, even some friends and family who weren’t Facebook users were still being spied on by Facebook,” he explained, “Facebook managed to collect data about them because they were closely associated with Facebook users who had information on them.”

With that in mind, how many people can Facebook really spy on? Being a non-Facebook won’t protect you from its clutches. Looks like Big Brother isn’t just coming in the form of big government, it’s also coming as your friendly-looking liberal social media app.

“I don’t think that Mark Zuckerberg can fix Facebook,” Hughes concluded. And unfortunately, he looks like he won’t be wrong anytime.
