Groups Launch 'Freedom from Facebook' Petition, Want FCC Help

A coalition of advocacy groups wants the Federal Trade Commission to force Facebook to break up what it calls a social media monopoly. The social network, which boasts 2.2 billion users on Facebook alone, should be forced by the FTC to spin-off WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger into independent businesses, the groups say in a Freedom from Facebook petition.
