'monopoly' is a shorthand for an unacceptable abuse of market power

It is not being used literally. Of course FB & Facebook are not 'literal' monopoloies

it’s different terminology. no need to baselessly insult americans

They are awarded in a certain sets of circumstances. Contempt of court is far from the only example
