> One would hope "the market will correct it"

Puhleeze, I haven't heard any remotely viable way that any even halfway decent alternative to Facebook becomes possible. I see multiple posts a day bitching about the evils of FB, and then they come out yesterday with enormous revenue and user numbers.

The only way FB will slow down is if they are trustbusted.

Facebook is dominant in social media, but this is mobile gaming micro-payments. Google and Apple are also large in this space.

That said, I've little confidence this oligopoly will do the right thing without regulation.
