Of course they can investigate Facebook. That is literally their job. Their power isn't growing they are just using the power they already have.
Are you saying Facebook should be above the law and not answerable to any government?
That seems a bit naive though; of course investigating Facebook is a demonstration of the wielding of power. If they can investigate and punish Facebook, their power and importance grows.

Not if we consider their profession to be more of whatever they are doing now; if they do a good job in that, they advance. The more junior people involved in the investigation do good jobs, and advance to better, more senior positions and so on.
