Unfortunately there's literally thousands of social networking sites, chat apps and photo sharing apps out there, and many of them have millions of downloads which keeps Facebook on their toes. Facebook can easily win this based off of that technicality.

That's only a technicality in internet discussions. Actual antitrust law in the US does not have a binary definition of "monopoly" that lets large companies off the hook.
