The fact that there's no worthy competitor to FB shows the power of the network. Zuckerberg has been really smart to acquire instagram and WhatsApp to avoid the possibility of irrelevance.
If not for the acquisitions, I think FB with this kind of heat would have started being irrelevant to some of the users and many of the advertisers. The govt should have had been keeping a tab about these things in the first place. It's little too late for regulations.
Even breaking up them would not help. How do regulators would make sure that the systems from different apps under FB umbrella are not sharing data with each other?
