Because FB is the most visible example of it. c.f. fraud and embezzlement enforcement. Regardless, whatever comes out of the case w.r.t. FB will determine policy for the other personal-data companies.

No. Because FB data was used by Trump to win.

FB was very visible earlier too, and the influence it weilded was well known. It was just extremely upsetting that the other side used it this time, and won.

Political narratives world over, have always been monopolized by the left, via institutional control. When narratives are democratized, they invariably move to the right. Social media has democratized setting of the narrative, and that is the reason that we are seeing a wave of right wing populism across the world, from India to UK to the US.

The clampdown on Facebook is an attempt to regain institutional control of the current most valuable means of setting political narrative.

Haha what? Nevermind the nonsense of dividing the world into "left" and "right", you are also absolutely wrong.

Please back up your claims, because I see a hell of a lot of conservative media coverage control, all over the world.
