There is no natural monopoly at play here, only network effects.
FB paid $16b for WhatsApp not because their product was so insanely good, but bc they had the network effect.
When govs communicates to their citizens through FB, they strengthen that network effect.
If everyone actually does #deletefacebook, FB is worth nothing. Remember MySpace? The same can (and should) happen to FB.
If everyone leaves WA for (f.e.) Signal, WA is worth nothing.
