They won't get broken up because western govs want to compete with China and have similar control while still being able to fly under the freedom flag. FB is a virtual China, "soft authoritarianism" basically.

What's interesting is that the HSL/HSV wheel in Adobe programs has a slightly different disribution compared to the rest of the industry, they've basically tweaked it perceptually. This yields different results in their color
