> Is fb actively stifling competition?
If they're suppressing the debate, then yes, they are. When it comes to political speech, the democratic governance process is definitely a competitor.

As long as Facebook is the go-to platform for political advertising and they use their position as the market to influence market positions, then yes, there is a failure. Imagine if the NYSE chairman picked the stock winners every day, not because he's a prophet, but because he literally decided, in advance, who's going to get to move shares today.
