Hoping FB will have to sell them both.
If FB looses and they do not settle, it can be big hit against big tech monopolies watching this.

I like spreading negative info about FB and other big tech proprietary platforms that mine it's users data, in hopes more people will eventually join #decentralization.
@cypherpunk @dsfgs Facebook needs to burn to the ground. Even though that place is a treasure trove of info and an excellent source for social engineering; it needs to stop and be destroyed. Let the users download all thier data and pics. But people will need somewhere else to go, its also a containment place on the internet. Either way, it's needs to go and I hope it does.
@lnx
Our prediction is nothing will happen. Could this be a way to allay the #Section230 attack that #Trump started?
Use the negative publicity to the advantage of the #decentralisationMovement, though. We heard someone in #Australia talk about this and they consume #legacyMedia. People are hearing about it.
