About what? FB can block anyone they want for any reason they want.


About abusing its monopoly power to prevent users from linking to a competitor.


Interestingly, if FB censors some one/thing that isn't a direct competitor, that means anti-trust doesn't apply. At the same time, the problem of a forum essential to public discourse censoring speech persists. Even worse there is very little appeal possible against the censoring.

So, whilst anti-trust might help sometimes. It is not the best tool here. What we need is legislation.
