Is Facebook too big to manage?

Should it be regulated?

Should international users be on the same server as American users? Doesn't that open the gate to misinformation, hacking, and other problems?

Should Instagram, Messenger, and other holdings be separated from Facebook?

They are off-line as of last report. All their companies are down also.

Zuckerberg, biologically human, has always exhibited at best "lukewarm feelings" on humanity. Money and profit appear to be what he aspires to.

Facebook should be split up into several companies, heavily regulated as a publisher/broadcaster, NOT a “platform”, and heavily taxed.
