Facebook is not the only app to dominate other apps. Google was also one platform used in the video which
shares their response of not being the ones in control of forcing users to pick their application. The technological
industry is a big part in today’s generation and the unfairness of apps buying out other apps, go against the U.S’
anti-trust laws. This can hurt other industrial businesses for the simple fact that there is no one to compete with.
No competition can lead to decline in the technological industry.
