Facebook is huge but what monopoly power does it hold?

Me and many of my friends never interact with Meta and it hasn't been an issue. This isn't the case with Google.

Meta allows 3rd party advertiser to upload their data to their platform... and they do, sometimes illegally.

If your home address is on some advertiser's mail list, chance they are on meta's database as well.

Even if you never use Facebook or Instagram, there's an ad profile for you that ads are ostensibly being shown to, that ad buyers pay for, same with Google.
