Mark Zuckerberg is fully prepared to sue the federal government if someone like Democratic Senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren tries to break up Facebook into smaller companies, according to this audio recordings and that is scary

It’s not scary at all. That’s a routine legal proceeding when the gov tries to break you up.

Don’t you remember the MS antitrust case in the 90s?

why? do companies have a right to defend themselves from being broken up?

Under classical antitrust, yes. FB doesn't fall under Warren's proposal for 'platform utilities'; pushing DOJ to unwind the Whatsapp and Instagram mergers would be the only way for her administration to accomplish the stated goal.
