> could they really not anticipate future antitrust action?

I we go by the pattern of behavior at Facebook, it really doesn't seem like the decision makers consider much in the way of anti-trust or much of anything.

The pattern is well established and their version of move fast and break things is almost entirely off the rails.

And if we look at the pattern of behavior at the Department of Justice, the pattern of behavior at Facebook seems (at least at this moment) to be perfectly rational.

Most industries can engage in anticompetitive behaviors with impunity. But I think if Facebook watches which way the political winds are blowing for them, they would be more careful.

Yes, rational + unethical = current status quo.

I took GP to mean that the DoJ hasn't been enforcing antitrust laws the way they used to, so the rational action for selfish companies to take is to break those unenforced laws.
