Is Facebook monopoly any worse than having multiple actors in the data collection field? If anything, having more competitors would push each to be more cunning

Is Facebook monopoly any worse than having multiple actors in the data collection field? If anything, having more competitors would push each to be more cunning in their collection and retention of data, to appear more valuable to stakeholders. One evil is better than two.

    Portability meaning here moving data, not copying or sharing data.

      I’m not sure that I am grasping the distinction you are making.
