Need to go far further than just splitting it into three parts.

Yes burying each of them too.

Then put concrete all over it.

Dont forget all the radioactive waste signs around the perimeter.

What do you have in mind?

Facebook should be shattered into a dozen pieces that are then forced to compete in the social media market.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I wonder how small the pieces can get before they're not practical to run as a company anymore.

Obviously, things like Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp could be competing with their counterparts. As I've never really used Facebook, I don't know what the core app does and how it could be split up.

Do you have any insight there?
