I have two final questions, which I will ask at the same time. Does Ms Haugen believe that Facebook has become too big to handle? Over the past 100 years in the US, anti-trust laws were used to break up big companies that had monopolies. Should something like those be used on Facebook?

Ms Haugen fielded a similar question when appearing before the US Congress when a Senator asked her what major changes she would make to make the platform safer for users if she were CEO of Facebook the next morning.
