HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — Joe Biden said Monday that he would be open to breaking up Facebook, a sign of the deep skepticism among many Democratic presidential contenders about the power of massive technology firms.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the former vice president, who is now running for the White House, said that dismantling large technology companies including Facebook is"something we should take a really hard look at."
Regardless of whether Facebook is ultimately broken up, Biden told the AP, the Trump administration hasn't done enough to enforce antitrust laws in a variety of industries. Biden is competing in a field that's been celebrated for its historic gender and racial diversity. He said there are women currently running for president who would be qualified to lead the presidential ticket next year, but he wouldn't fully commit to selecting a woman as his running mate if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
And if he doesn't get the nomination, Biden didn't dismiss the idea of working in a future Democratic administration.
