WASHINGTON: A coalition of activist groups on May 21 announced a campaign to break up Facebook, arguing that the huge social network “has too much power over our lives and democracy”.
The groups created a website, and a Facebook page, to garner support for a petition to the US Federal Trade Commission to require the social media firm to spin off Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger into competing networks, and to “impose strong privacy rules”.
