Facebook isn’t really a participant in a free market they’ve been crushing competition for years

Crushing competition is certainly a thing that can happen in a free market.

Isn’t a free market the lack of any government regulation and leaving it up to the “Invisible Hand”? With that definition, monopolies are still “free market”. I guess it depends on your definition of “free market”?

Companies with a monopoly often have them because of government regulation. Copyright being the best example of shutting out other players in the market.

Pure markets are impossible in these environments
