I want substantive market distortion fixed. Things like the FTC have a role. The problem is, what they regard as a "fix" and what I regard as a "fix" don't align. There's a case that what Apple did, is "good" to the FTC reducing FBs monopoly. I just don't think it or anything else serves my purpose, which would be to either remove the ads, or move them outside the walled garden to specialist companies which didn't get owned by Facebook or Apple.

I won't cry for any existing Ad monopolist inside their walled garden, but this may be just another mafia-boss muscling in to waste my time.

The masses have voted, and you just don’t like their choice.
Possibly true. Staying outside FB now means relying on the charity of others to tell you material facts only said inside FB
Not much different than any of us who don’t watch CNN or Fox. If only they saw fit to broadcast something, we miss out. Probably not that important.
