Don't worry, unless Facebook can convince Western governments to ban all competition this will never happen. The Chinese government banning the competition is the reason WeChat has the position in China it now enjoys.

They wouldn't need to do anything close to that, I fear. We've had "bad news" about FB since the 2016 election, yet their user numbers keep growing.
When I hear people say "I'm not on FB", it mostly means "I"m on Instagram". People may know it's the same parent company, but they definitely aren't aware of how deep the integration goes.
