American Tobacco was aggressively and successfully conspiring with other companies to maintain high prices. It's precisely such conspiracies to restrain trade that are specifically prohibited by the Sherman Act. How is Facebook conspiring to restrain trade? With whom? Would breaking Facebook up result in lower prices for using social media services? The services are already free. Should people expect to get paid for posting selfies? Breaking up Facebook for its behavior would be like breaking up IBM for age discrimination. It doesn't matter whether it's wrong nor even whether it's illegal. It's neither the function nor intent of anti-trust law to break up companies under such pretenses.
