There’s a hashtag on Twitter “#DeleteFacebook which may soon trend among people who think that the social media is monopolizing the way people interact on the internet.
A tweet made by a user, Sacha Baron Cohen stated that the company should be regulated by the government since according to them, it is improper to let one person control the water used by 2.5 billion people.
The analogy they made stated that if it is improper to have one person control the electricity used by 2.5 billion people, it would be calamitous to have Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder be in charge of the social media which has grown in recent times with more than a billion subscribers.
@SachaBaronCohen Actually, everyone should just close their Facebook accounts. Zuck, is just another rich asshole trying to wring every little bit of money & info out of y’all! #DeleteFacebook https://t.co/sVXkrWC6m0

“One by one they’re starting to drop away. That’s certainly not good news,”
The new call for the company to be fragmented may be the beginning of its woes.
