Google is google because they have gulped down enormous infrastructure and data, leaving everyone else so far behind they 're impossible to catch.

Facebook is FB because it went into an uberaggressive spree of acquiring users circa 2007 , which paid off massively by creating the biggest network lock-in ever.

My bet is their algorithms are what everyone expects them to be, and no actionable info will come from this legislation. The real, hard question is how to create a nonmonopolistic market in internet media.
