It's incredibly anti-competitive behaviour and it's baffling that governments are allowing it to go unchecked. Even the WhatsApp purchase was greenlit with caveats (not combining FB and WhatsApp user data) ... which were promptly ignored by Facebook. I seriously want to know who they paid off to get that acquisition. There's no way that was above board.

That’s why Zuck has dinner with Steve Bannon and Trump.

Impressive, Zuck knew in 2014 while Facebook was acquiring Instagram that Trump would someday be President and it was prudent to have dinner with him.
