The battle between Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg continues.

New leaked audio, obtained by The Verge, shows Zuckerberg pushing back on the Democratic presidential candidate's plan to break up big tech companies.

Warren immediately responded on Twitter, saying Facebook engages in "illegal competitive practices" and repeatedly "[fumbles] their responsibility to protect our democracy."
