I see no way they aren't a competitor. Meta is a company. Companies exists to make money. Meta makes money by driving engagement and then monitizing via ads or user data sale for others to target ads.

Like are we all supposed to pretend a company, Meta of all companies, is an altruistic entity? Because that's not how it works... At all.

Remove corporations from social networks.
