Earlier this week, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes publicly called for the social media giant to be broken up because it had gotten too large and too all-encompassing. Saturday, the company responded to Hughes' message with one of its own: Size doesn't matter.

In his original New York Times op-ed piece published Thursday, Hughes — who left Facebook in 2007 — said the company needed to be broken up in order to "guarantee other, new companies can compete."
