What exactly does Facebook have a monopoly on?
2 comments

Social network in large parts of the world.
Messaging, in my country. SMS isn't a thing here, WhatsApp is used by literally everyone.
Is it a monopoly in the sense that everyone is forced to use it and Facebook is able to charge high fees, or do people have multiple options on the app store (signal, telegram, etc) and they just choose Whatsapp
