FACEBOOK (a contrary opinion)

I have misgivings about the meme that Facebook should be broken up. No doubt it has many many flaws, but its current and potential benefits seem to call for keeping it solvent and strong.

The entire world--rich or poor--now has a free medium of communication to share their mutual concerns. (One of my most keen FB correspondents is all the way in Uganda.)

FB is too new for most of us to understand that it gives us our own individual publication to do with as we choose. In a world with such great environmental, social and economic injustices, we need a voice to get at how we strategize and organize to counter our enemies. Such enemies might be the very ones trying to weaken FB.

If what I'm saying has bearing, FB should be stronger (to withstand monumental deep state opposition)  rather than weaker.

IMHO
