Facebook is anti-competitive, should be broken up
Two of the most ideologically opposed members of the Senate, Josh Hawley and Bernie Sanders, are arguing essentially the same thing: that Facebook should be broken up. By predatorily acquiring
Instagram and WhatsApp, by integrating its original message board-like function and its photo sharing and chat acquisitions into its data mining and advertising operations, Facebook has met all the established definitions of anti-competitive behavior.

Investigate state use of self-immolating messaging
In December 2017, Greitens and senior members of his staff were accused by Democrats and government transparency advocates of subverting Missouri's open records laws after the Kansas City Star reported that they used Confide, a messaging app that erases
texts after they have been read, on their personal phones.Attorney General Hawley at first claimed conflict of interest, but on December 20 announced his office would investigate, saying that the matter was legally complex because the state
Sunshine Law "was written decades and decades ago and has not been updated to take into account" technological changes.
On January 3, 2018, House Bill 1817 was filed in the state legislature, to ban use of apps like Confide in conducting public
business. Attorney General Hawley initiated an investigation regarding possible violations of the state's Sunshine laws, after allegations that a state employee had managed a social media account on behalf the governor.
