Powerful company complains competition is too powerful, needs regulators to take sides.

The issue of wether or not tech companies are too powerful should be one of "The People" vs these companies and we collectively decide what should be and should not be allowed.

Facebook's only interest is reducing any competitors power as much as possible and whilst their argument might have a point, they might not have a point.

This discussion needs to happen and if necessary laws changed but I feel Facebook spearheading this weakens the points made due to their clear conflict of interest.

We as a society need to decide if the benefit of these large tech companies in their current state is truly worth the societal cost.

Facebook being involved in such a fundamental discussion dilutes its importance.

Also funny Facebook calling out another company as too powerful when they have one of the largest databases of personal information that has ever existed. Arguably much larger than the personal information Apple has collected on the world’s population.
