Gold?

How would that work, though? It sounds like guaranteed arbitrage? But does arbitrage work as a trading strategy? I thought markets quickly become too efficient for that?

On the other hand, if flash loans are not sound economic policy, doesn't that imply they won't prevail? Evolution will weed them out.

It's not addictive like heroine or something like that.

"Because it inconveniences you" is not a good reason to break up companies, imo.

Maybe those small businesses will learn that Facebook is not the best option. There are other cheap ways to get a web presence. Facebook is not even a web presence, as it is a walled garden.

Also, how would you even break it up? A separate "events platform" would be pretty useless without the Facebook social graph. What would be the point? Just plain disallow Facebook to have useful features, making things more difficult for people?

Facebook did not "set up the game". Everybody is playing the same game. Facebook did not have special powers to change the rules.

They built an especially attractive service (judging by user numbers). Everybody else is free to build services in whatever way they fancy.

What nonsense. Nobody is forced to use Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Blame the people who keep using them, not the creators of those networks.
