    Sell it to whom? I’d rather they have to spin it back off into its own company.

    Same with WhatsApp. They should never have been allowed to buy either.

      I kind of expect Google and Meta to 69 each other. Google takes over Insta, Meta takes over Chrome.

              The idea is to break up these corporations, not just have them trade assets.

      Sell it to someone who can’t run it who sells it again to someone who can’t run it who sells all the information to someone who owned it originally which devalues the company so it gets sold back to the people who sold it because they knew this would happen
