Yeah and Zuckerberg pays himself every time he uses Facebook, so are we going to make him delete his account?

If he were to win I think he would be pressured to structure some kind of trust that prevents him from leveraging Facebook's political power in conjunction with the government.

That's the point, isn't it? It's happening right now without consequence, so why should it be different then?


But in truth there is absolutely no way Facebook is not going to become his private political action committee. There's no way to separate the two.


He already partners with organizations like WaPo and Politifact to be 'fact-checkers', paying them large contracts I assume.

Once these groups determine something to be 'fake news' they are set up to censor as they see fit. Pretty smart if it wasn't so evil.
