The cost of breaking up Facebook would be next to zero for the government, and lots of people stand to gain economically. A ban on short-term acquisitions would ensure that competitors, and the investors who take a bet on them, would have the space to flourish. Digital advertisers would suddenly have multiple companies vying for their dollars.
It could even go further to the state or local level,,,,Multinationals too,,,Think of all the companies they have eaten up and how many companies could be made from their core business too.. ATT is a good example,,,,,,(But they steadily accumulate again)
If American companies become smaller, the Chinese will outpace us.
Not if all the small companies send some revenue to a central R&D...There is always a solution :)
Finally, the agency should create guidelines for acceptable speech on social media. This idea may seem un-American — we would never stand for a government agency censoring speech. But we already have limits on yelling “fire” in a crowded theater, child pornography, speech intended to provoke violence and false statements to manipulate stock prices. We will have to create similar standards that tech companies can use. These standards should of course be subject to the review of the courts, just as any other limits on speech are. But there is no constitutional right to harass others or live-stream violence.

If we don’t have public servants shaping these policies,
corporations will.
The corps are self serving, so any thing else is an after thought..Communities tend to protect as opposed to abuse
In the new age, corps are even more dangerous as they are reactionary not Pro action...They only spend money when they have to or to prevent obvious lawsuits...
Corps were once beneficial to society, now they suck the life out of the US and the world....With no social conscience any more, only the worst of us would defend them...
