Remember the 1956 IBM consent degree way back. It changed the course of computer history as IBM had to watch now every step.
The FB consent degree was ignored and so far had little effect. I doubt it will continue to be ignored now as the following has changed:
- FB leveraged by Russian trolls and via data leakage affected the US Presidential elections. Puts the spotlight of politics on social media and FB in particular
- same for Brexit
- GDPR in Europe is a big thing with penalties
- US branches of government shifting left over the next 4 years in reaction to extremist right policies.
- Younger people get Mr. Robot. Older people die. Demographics have been shifting audience away from FB for some time.
These are trends that will not go away. They will affect every decision within FB and with it the growth trajectory.
