The Federal cartel office employs Facebook's new borders

After the view of the Bundeskartellamt, miss Facebook needs its market power. Therefore, the authority calls an "internal unbundling". The litigation could drag on - and Facebook, in the meantime, the facts.

Anyone who does not agree, they should not be excluded from Facebook in spite of each of the services.
