Robert Reich, The Guardian; Facebook and Twitter spread Trump’s lies, so we must break them up
"The reason 45% of Americans rely on Facebook for news and Trump’s tweets
reach 66 million is because these platforms are near monopolies,
dominating the information marketplace. No TV network, cable giant or
newspaper even comes close. Fox News’ viewership rarely exceeds 3
million. The New York Times has 4.7 million subscribers.
Facebook and Twitter aren’t just participants in the information marketplace. They’re quickly becoming the information marketplace."
