> Antitrust is pretty much dead from what I can tell

It has just been defined to mean 'thing that harms consumer prices'.



The question is: who is the consumer? The idea that Facebook users == consumers might not be right. Perhaps the real consumers are the corporations that pay for ads. In that case, some price fixing might be out there. I doubt that Facebook does its best to keep the ad price on the level of a perfectly competitive market.
