Oddly, I see less issues with Facebook than with Google. Facebook has a tight grip on social media, but then there's also Twitter. facebook.com is dying long-term (though Instagram is picking some of that up) and they're not nearly as vertically integrated as Google is, for example (browser, operating system, email, video streaming, maps,...).
In the current political climate, I don't see an antitrust investigation ever leading to any major impact but it's almost inevitable, over the coming decade or so, to see a ton of regulation and forced splits for tech giants. The current system simply can't be healthy.
