Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg pushes back on calls for breakup of tech giant

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said recent calls for the tech giant to be broken up won’t address the issues that have prompted a backlash against Big Tech. “You could break us up, you could break other tech companies up, but you actually don’t address the underlying issues people are concerned about,” Sandberg said in an interview with CNBC.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said recent calls for the tech giant to be broken up won’t address the issues that have prompted a backlash against Big Tech.

“You could break us up, you could break other tech companies up, but you actually don’t address the underlying issues people are concerned about,” Sandberg said in an interview with CNBC.

A range of 2020 Democratic candidates have called for stricter regulation of Silicon Valley companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has laid out a proposal to break up several firms on antitrust grounds.
