I don't buy this for a fucking second.

You don't "cheer on" the fucking global market leader. You force them to allow 3rd parties to leverage their platform for innovative, derivative products.

Facebook has been extremely hostile to any sort of 3rd party integration with their products. Break that shit up.

Facebook goes beyond the US jurisdiction. Only 10% of their users are in the US. How do you split up a company beyond your borders?

Really sounds to me lawyers will be at it for very long with no sure outcome.
