#2BBC coverage on this is a bit minimal and lazy.
Posted already here with more coverage on Zuckerberg's comments about suing the government and election interference.

#3I don't think there anything in there that is unexpected.
The most interesting part is probably how Facebook will compete with TikTok in the coming months and years.

#4>>>There's no bombshell revelation in this leak
Oh boy is that an understatement. Of course Zuck's strategy if the government attempts to break up Facebook for antitrust or whatever else they can spin together is to fight it legally. Of course his preference is going to be for a presidential candidate who hasn't made an overt commitment to force that break up.
There's really no there, there.

#5Seems like it doesn't contain anything surprising or terribly noteworthy.
Also, while FB, Instagram and Whats App being under the same umbrella is very questionable (and the Whats App acquisition should have been blocked by regulators), I'd argue breaking up Google or Amazon would be more important.

#7Is there any concern about the implications of breaking up big tech in an attempt to make US markets more competitive, but in so doing allow a foreign competitor to swoop in and become the de facto choice in some market? I imagine the US benefits substantially from the likes of Google and fb dominating competitors in foreign markets.

#8> Mark Zuckerberg has said he would "go to the mat" to fight against Facebook's break-up, in leaked audio published by tech news site The Verge. US presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren has said she would consider splitting up it and other tech giants.
What these little weasels talk about in private about the American people attempting to retain control over their own lives.

When you are FB or Google or Amazon or you know... Microsoft... there are issues with how the government could ever effectively regulate such an industry with outsized funds (much larger than the fixed regulatory budgets) and power (influencing people and elections). The legal process was never designed to work effectively or efficiently at such a level. The legal process becomes such a war of attrition that you can weather any investigation as Microsoft did.

The bigger thing is a mismatch between the employees of facebook and the management. These weekly meetings happen all the time, what is different is now the employees are recording them and releasing them to the press. This means at least one employee no longer thinks the interest of upper management and the workers align and she or he spent forethought in order to record the conversation and then spent time afterwards figuring out a way to contact the press.
This is a there there, even if the actual conversation transcript is banal and what you would expect from Zuck.
