Zuckerberg would take Warren to court over a Facebook breakup plan

In leaked audio conversations with Facebook employees, Mark Zuckerberg can be heard saying he would sue Senator Elizabeth Warren if she moved to break up Facebook, Matt Stevens of the NYT reports.

Ms. Warren has said she would split up big tech companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon if she becomes president.

“If she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge,” Mr. Zuckerberg said in recordings from a July internal meeting published by The Verge. “Does that still suck for us? Yeah.”

The recordings pit a leading Democrat candidate for president against a tech giant “at a time when Silicon Valley in general and Facebook in particular continue to be scrutinized for their efforts to combat disinformation and prevent election interference in 2020 and beyond,” Mr. Stevens writes.
