My money is on Facebook. They believe they can survive a court challenge against any competitor because they have almost unlimited resources.


Facebook could also pay a subsidiary to fraudulently click on the ads.

While this might sound extreme and paranoid, this is exactly the kind of thing corporations do to transfer risk and create plausible deniability.
