      Zuck is gonna increase Meta’s capex after seeing Gemini 3 and the market ain’t gonna like it.

      Puts.

    2. Shocking.

      They still are all in on the bs, letting scammers use their platforms.

      Thats when theyre not forcing people into whatsapp to get verification codes

      Eat the rich when

    3. YouTube and TikTok are alternatives to Facebook? Maybe you can argue TikTok and Instagram compete but that doesn’t preclude having outsized or even monopoly power in the market.

      It’s commonly understood monopoly power doesn’t necessitate a majority market share let alone complete domination. These judges are being thick or the FTC threw this case on purpose given their current priorities and the shit going on in Washington.

      But seriously anyone who says that Meta or Google don’t have essentially monopoly pricing power in the ad market are insane. And since this is ad on their underlying platform the fact that’s ads are not social media doesn’t matter since they’re impossible to separate.

      Imagine what mind of retard you would have to be to actually lose when you can just bribe it all away right now.

      Maybe only the Google ceo could fuck that up.
