A cofounder of Facebook has called for the government to break up the company, warning that Mark Zuckerberg's power is "unprecedented and un-American".

Chris Hughes, who helped established Facebook after meeting Zuckerberg at Harvard, wrote in the New York Times that Facebook's acquisition of rival platforms had given Zuckerberg unparalleled power over speech and that, from the early days of Facebook, Zuckerberg had touted "domination" as an ultimate goal.
