Google could also block any facebook links from appearing as google search results if things become more tenuous. I highly doubt this would ever happen since they might face a heavy duty backlashing, but the thought is intriguing.


Facebook is not really optimized for SEO (walled-garden), so this would not be the strategic crowbar to their kneecap.

IMHO, the better solution would be to blacklist all associated Facebook IP addresses and domain names from the Android OS.


Blacklist all Facebook IPs on Android? Haha, that's some heavy warfare you're talking about and I don't think the users will like that either.


Either one would cross the line very quickly into anticompetitive behavior.


Facebook could block all users that have an @gmail.com email address. I think Facebook has the bigger crowbar.
