You mean Facebook which is today's scapegoat. They can't buy Beat Saber or Giphy.

Microsoft is buying the largest game developer for $70B without skipping a beat.

And every major tech firm buying up healthcare arms.
As of today FB owns Giphy and Beat Saber
UK courts are fighting them over Giphy. US FTC is fighting them over Beat Games (Beat Saber) and Within Unlimited (Supernatural).

I'm not saying FAAMGs should be able to spend hundreds of billions unchecked in consolidating M&A, but this contradiction when no one flinches at Microsoft buying Activision makes it pretty obvious, in my possibly mistaken opinion, that this is no objective process.
