Credit where credit is due, Meta / FB identified early on that people are moving on to mobile and acquired WhatsApp and Instagram at the right time (WhatsApp and Instagram are extremely popular with the young).

were. Then came Snapchat and later TikTok. Instagram is declining in users, meanwhile WhatsApp is a cross-generational norm in some countries for whatever reason (it has atrocious UX).

People don't use TikTok to communicate with each other, Snapchat seems pretty stagnant.

At the very least, FB, WhatsApp and Instagram should be separate companies. And WA is the world's most popular chat app by far, so this is not some unimportant bit player.

Sure, but what about Google and Amazon, you don't think they're bigger threats that UK's limited resources should be focused on first?

Sure, break them up, too. That would be great. The article under discussion is about Facebook.

And my response to the article is that there are way bigger fish to fry than splitting up a dying social media conglomerate. Google and Amazon are far more powerful and dominant than Meta and you know it.

You sound kinda crazy, friend. It is possible for several things to matter at the same time. This article is about Facebook, so we're discussing Facebook.

It's possible for several things to happen, but there's a limited amount of resources that can be applied at a time and I don't think Facebook is the bigger picture.

So for the second time, my subject, which was formed in my thread, is a response to the original post.

You sound kinda pig headed, friend

Now you're just being emotionally immature.

The dying social media conglomerate can be warmup before going after more powerful companies. Like a vaccine to stimulate the antitrust immune system, if you will.

Any experience gained cab also be said for the opponent. Facebook and Amazon are completely different entities.

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus. Force them to divest these companies, and then these companies can compete with each other in the open market.

>Split up what, a declining social network for boomers?

Yes, definitely yes. Competition is good, yes?
