I think it is a bad idea.

Facebook has found a way to make money by running knowingly false political ads. The Facebook executive that wrote that policy has previously worked for both the Trump election campaign and Rudy Guiliani.
Republicans have spent over $10 million running false ads against Joe Biden. Now the Democrats will have to pay for Facebook ads in response to these lies. It sounds like a racket.

How is breaking up Facebook going to stop fake news? How exactly do you break up Facebook profiles? Does the government subsidize smaller social media companies to make them more popular? I think the real solution is regulation, breaking up big tech won't solve anything. Big tech companies are doing a lot of good for humanity and Mark Zuckerberg donated 3 billion dollars to medical research.
