It's Not Often I'll Defend Lizzy Warren... But In This Case, I Will.
Facebook takes down Elizabeth Warren ads calling for breakup of Facebook
Facebook has removed several ads placed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign that called for the breakup of Facebook and other tech giants.
The ads, which had identical images and text, touted Warren's recently announced plan to unwind "anti-competitive" tech mergers, including Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram.
“Three companies have vast power over our economy and our democracy. Facebook, Amazon, and Google," read the ads, which Warren's campaign had placed Friday. "We all use them. But in their rise to power, they’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field in their favor.”

Facebook should be investigated and grilled before Congressional committees for this.
It's time to treat the tech giants like the television networks once were.
