Facebook does have a monopoly. Twitter is not your competition, it’s a completely different service.

[@notavailableatthemoment7623]

depends what you mean when you say competition. everyone uses the app for different aspects of its service. for example, im sure facebook doesn't have a monopoly on messaging since thats more of snapchats thing. It does however have a monopoly on FACEBOOK (and yes instagram too but thats not the point). the point is that the metaphor the senetor uses doesn't really work because the two cars he mentioned doesn't really have much of a different in terms of usage purposes (simple way to say it is it gets you from point A to point B). HOWEVER, if the senetor used the metaphor of Tesla and a Ford, THEN it would make more sense because Tesla and Ford overlap in terms of geting from point A to point B but Tesla is electric while Ford is gas and DEPENDING ON THE PERSON'S PREFRENCE FOR THOSE PERTICULAR ASPECTS OF THE CAR, the person will choose one or the other. If you use the same logic the Senator is using, every company is a monopoly of its own company.

0:35 He is literally asking Mark to promote competitor lol

[@neontime8507]

No. He’s asking mark to give any evidence that Facebook is not a monopoly. FB buys all its competition, but if Zuckerberg can name one competitor that does what Facebook as a whole does, then evidently FB does not buy all its competition. Zuckerberg could not name a company because he does in fact buy out the competition

Its cringe when politicians wont let the person talk or answer the questions that they were asked. From my view, they should just have him sit in the middle of the room while they all lecture him on their points then he just leaves. This is why people turn to other platforms to actually have a discussion.

By definition Facebook isn't a monopoly, you blame facebook for its popularity, there's no competition not because they control the goods but because people chose to use there service.

[@paulcom7772]

No No Mike......you won't sell that one.....you used the word " chose ". It is impossible to do that when Choice does not exist .

facebook is a monopoly. using its size to downplay competitors or buying them outright.

Rokinco that is LITERALLY what businesses do, does facebook have exclusive rights to social media? no? do competitors have the same legal rights? yes? it's not a monopoly.

No matter how much you despise their opponent, a politician will always have you rooting for their opponent in less than 30 seconds. The only exception is when it’s politician vs politician, in which case you just leave and hope they both lose somehow.
