    Antitrust laws ARE simple. The issue is that none of them get enforced because those responsible for doing so are owned by those breaking those laws.

    We certainly don't need more laws when we can't even enforce the ones we do have. Maybe simplifying them would help shorten US code, but that's about all it would do. We would still have an enforcement, or lack thereof, problem.

    Say that to the conglomerate that owns Sonic Corp. & Arby's among other fast food chains. Say that to Walmart the next time that you remember the old days of Kmart and Sears and JCPenney's along with so many other stores that are simply blasts from the past, for the most part.

    😬 *ENFORCE THE LAWS!* Don't ignore the laws which are your responsibility and forget your own rules just because it's inconvenient for your profits and desire to control everyone. Facebook, Disney and many more monopolies need to be broken up quite a bit! We need more competition in this world. It is not fair if only a few people are allowed to be capitalists and lock out everybody else from getting a chance to get to the top. Plus, I absolutely despise people who break in-network policies and equal pay laws and dodge any consequences for it. October 30, 2021, 10:25pm

    I don't know the best way to word this. I'm a roofer not an IT guy, but here is my best attempt. The problem I see here is that it is a platform. How do you break that up. I have a Facebook account. I don't use it often. My wife does. The Gods forbid you take that away. My point is how could you make it so that if someone posted something. Someone else could see it no matter if they use that platform. Say they boycotted Facebook. People get addicted to a platform. In some cases worse than crack.

We never used it. I don’t know if she deleted hers. But I did in less than 3 months. It took forever to delete it. I almost had to give them my first born child, I swear. 🤦🏼‍♀️ You can’t just delete. Have to practically ASK Facebook to. 🤨

    Don't blame social network companies when you're the party of personal responsibility who also believes in a God that doesn't exist as the person responsible for everything. Let's be clear, you chose to be on Facebook because it's worldwide. You can chose NOT to be radicalized but you don't like that. So do t blame Facebook for your own issues.
