It's fairly trivial to get a list of potential competitive threats:
1> New apps with user base in the millions and monthly growth rate in double digit %
2> Significant VC/angel funding
3> Positive press coverage.
This data collection doesn't require violating anyone's privacy and can even be outsourced to a third party on a monthly basis for a trivial cost.
So, why are there accusations about monopolistic behavior? MSFT was trying to block competition via illegal means, like incentivizing partners to use MSFT products, or going after the competition with expensive (bogus) patent claims, but FB is doing none of that.
