The argument they’ve made is that they are targeting FB and not their competitors. If true, it has many possible abusive implications, one of the common ones being protectionism. It might not be that, but it is a huge red flag that it could be that.


It's easy to level accusations and then back off justifying by saying it's just a possibility.


I did not edit my original comments where I clearly said “leads to”. If you think that meant an accusation, then that’s your right of course, but it isn’t correct to then say I was using similar language to back out of it.


If you are going to accuse you ought probably be able to back up the argument or don't bother to waste other readers time.
