Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook called on Thursday for the ownership of Facebook to be broken up, warning that Mark Zuckerberg has become too powerful.
In an editorial published in The New York Times, Mr Hughes says that Mr Zuckerberg's focus on growth has led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks," and warned that his global influence had become "staggering".
Mr Zuckerberg not only controls Facebook but also the widely used Instagram and WhatsApp platforms, and Mr Hughes said that Facebook's board works more like an advisory committee than a check on the chief executive's power.
