1. You&#x27;re conveniently ignoring the fact that Google <i>did</i> self-censor from 2005 to 2009. So the idea that it&#x27;s &quot;too expensive&quot; being the reason is just FUD. Unsubstantiated speculation.<p>2. The question about whether or not Facebook&#x2F;Google will succeed <i>today</i> is more misdirection. The real question is whether Google would have succeeded 11 years ago, and whether Facebook would have succeeded 7-8 years ago, because that&#x27;s when they would have entered the market.
