When I interviewed at Facebook almost every person I talked to said "if Google blocks ads by default Facebook will sue them" so I expect to see a lawsuit eventually
Out of interest how long ago was this? Asking because: "Mobile advertising revenue is reported and according to Facebook, it represented approximately 88 percent of advertising revenue for Q3 2017 up from 84 percent in Q3 2016." https://zephoria.com/top-15-valuable-facebook-statistics/
Facebook seem to have done an incredibly good job of reducing their exposure to the browser. That comes at the cost of exposure to Android, but it feels like Google are going to find blocking Facebook ads in the Facebook app way harder than in their website.
That's all a little bit irrelevant though because Facebook are members of the 'coalition for better ads' anyway.
I would like to see that lawsuit. Imagine Facebook, a board member of the Coalition for Better Ads, suing Google for blocking Facebook ads that do not conform to the standards that Facebook, a board member, helped establish.
