This is a bad argument. Google tried to make a Facebook competitor... google... and failed spectacularly.

If Google resources can’t overcome the momentum of a big service; then no one can except over a long time.

So while I’m very free hand of market sometimes, I realize the reality that these are currently monopolies in their spaces and have to resources to prevent competition via lawsuits and acquisitions.

Google's attempt didn't simply fail because of network effects, though, it failed because people didn't like it. It wasn't very similar to Facebook at all.
