>the social media that people want to use _in practice_ is all controlled by Facebook Twitter? Reddit? LinkedIn? Hell TikTok just passed Whatsapp in monthly active participants. Anticompetitiveness is hard to argue when one of your largest competitors started after all of these acquisitions

I'm not saying it's a clear cut case. I'm just saying that we should view this in a different light than past antitrust cases.

Kia, Ferrari and caterpillar are not competitors despite all producing vehicles. In the same way TikTok, LinkedIn and WhatsApp are not competitors. Every sensible person understands that.

  But are you arguing that Instagram and TikTok are not competitors? Or WhatsApp and Telegram? Or Facebook and Twitter?
