Can Facebook be held accountable under monopoly laws? They are too big and too influential for our own good.



This generally applies when they do something that prevents competition. If Facebook made it difficult or impossible for you to use other social media websites, then maybe.


Antitrust laws. (I believe that is what monopoly laws are called.)

I don't think that will work. We're gonna have to make new laws, the social media laws.

...Never thought I'd type that! :)
