Facebook is under fire by the FTC; the Federal Trade Commission is seeking a permanent injunction in federal court that could, among other things, require the company to divest assets.
What we’re looking into is a breakup of Facebook.com and the process won’t be difficult to implement.
Simply put, Facebook.com will be split into two entities: Face.com and Book.com.
“We’re thinking of getting in touch with the domain registrants of both Face.com and Book.com for a quick buyout,” said the Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
“Once this completes, we’ll be launching two brand new separate social media, one to share your awkward photos and one for your crazy rants and raves. It’s a perfect solution for us, so that the government can drop its silly antitrust claims,” added Zuckerberg, smiling.
Billions of Facebook users will need to create new accounts, one on Face.com and one on Book.com, but what’s an extra pair of social media passwords to remember? 😀
For the record, Face.com is privately owned by an entity that might or might not include a domain investor, while Book.com is owned by Barnes & Noble.
