Facebook is a foreign entity going into a less developed market. It is overpowered, using its power to influence local government, and also has the power to destroy the local markets with their "free" option much like handing out free shoes to impoverished African countries.

Competition is good, but Facebook has the power to completely destroy and monopolize local industries if unchecked (in less developed economies at least).
