            Facebook knows everything about you. This data-eating monopoly needs to be split up now.

                 Facebook knows everything about you. No, it really does. Every piece of your data — from what to write, to memes you "like," to your purchases, and even to posts you merely pause on, Facebook is watching you. It's using this data to gain more and more power over your attention. In the past decade, the top four most-downloaded apps across the globe were all about social media: Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger. And all four are owned by just one sprawling company: Facebook itself. Without any true competition on the market, there's been nothing to reign the company in as it grows ever bigger and writes its own rules. This is precisely why nefarious political actors like those in Russia have used the social media giant to try and sway U.S. elections, and to push baseless and dangerous conspiracy theories. 

                  Countless experts have been sounding the alarm about this situation for years. Luckily, the U.S. government is finally taking action. After spending years gathering evidence, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 46 out of the nation's 50 states have launched twin lawsuits demanding an end to Facebook's hegemonic, monopolistic practices. By squashing competitor sites before they could become big, Facebook managed to maintain a single-handed hold over our information, making upwards of $70 billion in revenue just in one single year alone. We can't let Facebook continue to make its own rules while it controls larger and larger sections of our online economy and our lives. Sign the petition to show the FTC and state governments that you're with them. It's time for them to follow through on antitrust laws and split apart the various Facebook apps! 

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Too big to fail? More like too big to regulate. Not anymore, Facebook. Tell government leaders not to let Facebook get away with its anti-competitive practices.
