> give them a complete monopoly
I know the matter very little to judge if that's true.
But FB got some criticism these weeks, and even previously got questioned if the service they offer with FB has monopoly, and it seems there is a will to break that monopoly. So it would make sense if they would seek some other way to hold monopoly.
On the other hand every publicity is good publicity, and all that recent criticism and bad publicity can be considered as a warm up, a marketing strategy to draw greater attention to FB, so they can make the change and introduce their new services when all the attention is directed to them.
Google had many projects which were started and scrapped, nobody really heard about, probably because they just started them casually like business as usual.
> META
Here on the qboards an anon shared a The Guardian article that meta means dead in Hebrew, and might have been an error to name themselves such.
