Similarly I've been considering lately that the only real easy to break Facebook's monopoly is to target it's network effect, by forcing it to interoperate on some standard protocol, like ActivityPub. So, say, people could use Google+ (if it was sticking around) to see Facebook content without giving data to Facebook. Not sure how that would work with Twitter, I guess they'd just show media and clips of text posts. Honestly I think I'd love it - just choose your favourite social network and only use one. Up to each network to implement an interface that makes sense.
