> The FTC claims of monopoly are laughable? I agree that the regulatory question of whether FB meets the technical requirements of being classed a 'monopoly' is unclear. However, I see the real worry for FB here as going beyond one anti-trust action, it's the building cultural consensus and growing political momentum to "do something". That kind of tidal wave is hard to reverse and difficult to escape unscathed. I also agree that as pervasive and pernicious as FB is today, it is under serious growing threat from alternatives as well as already "jumping the shark" perceptually with young users. Together those twin storms on the horizon comprise a long-term threat to FB's dominance and relevance. That said, FB's revenue will likely continue 'up and to the right' for several years before the impact is seen in their financials.
