Facebook left us no choice

The Federal Trade Commission and 48 attorneys general are bringing anti-trust lawsuits against Facebook. According to NPR, “Both lawsuits spell out the same harm to consumers: People who want to use social media have fewer options … because of Facebook’s actions.”   For the past four years, Donald Trump has used social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to share misinformation and exert his influence, and both sites have done little to stop this flow of dangerous misinformation. Would things have been different if these tech giants didn’t have such a monopoly? It’s possible that Trump would’ve had a smaller audience to peddle his lies to.   In addition to failing to rein in misinformation, Facebook has also bought up rivals, suffocated competition to ensure its own dominance, and doubled back on privacy and data-sharing agreements. We’re reaching out to our Democratic supporters to see if they think Big Tech companies should have a shorter leash.  Progressive Majority Progressive Majority PAC 410 1st St, SE Suite 310 Washington, DC 20003   Paid for by Progressive Majority PAC
