Ocasio-Cortez Goes After Social Media
Do you agree?
In a move that some conservatives are actually agreeing with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with on, AOC is now called for Meta, previously known as Facebook, to be broken up.
During an interview with Yahoo, Ocasio-Cortez stated, “They are acting as an advertiser, they are acting as both platform and vendor, they are … a communications platform, which has historically been a well-established domain of antitrust.”
Ocasio-Cortez that because Meta simply has so many assets built into one company it is time to break it up.
AOC added, “When you look at a company like Facebook, and the completely corrosive ways that they have exercised an abuse, I believe, in civil society writ large – not just our democracies but … other countries – when we talk about production of vaccines or perhaps what we can do to … help them – they say … there are some things that the United States provide that are welcome,” she said. “There are also things that we want the United States to stop exporting, and one of those things is disinformation.”
