> I guess I don't get it. This is based on speculative misuse - that FB may in the future deny access to Giphy to competitors. So if you own a tool that your competitors may use then that's anti-competitive? Seems like that could apply to a lot of companies. Why not wait for actual misuse and base a case on that?

On the face of it this sounds reasonable but doesn't work in practice.

Precisely what service do they have to offer? What quality standards. How much can they charge? Do they have to innovate or can they let it stagnate. How do you police it? If FB want to limit the service they will (and they have a history in this area).
