I don't think Facebook has a monopoly on eye-ball shares in particular. They might have monopoly on social networking as such but given they're not the only thing a person will see in a day by a long-shot, I can't see how they're being more anti-competitive than a TV network (which also has a large but limited share of views).

Almost no-one bellow the age of 40 cares about TV anymore (apart from sports events), you're pretty off on this one.


Uh, even if you're right, the US is full of the 40+ people and their eye balls are high monetizable.

Even more, TV networks are just an example and it is fricken obvious that Facebook doesn't have an advertising monopoly in the US or world-wide.
