More of a monopoly: Facebook, Google or Amazon?

Was listening to a tech podcast the other day, and it got me thinking about this. Each of these entities are about as dominant as they come in their respective field. Which would you consider the closest to a monopoly, and do you think any one of them ever gets challenged as a monopoly?
I have to think with the purchase of Instagram and Whatsapp that Facebook is as big a monopoly in the social media field as we've ever seen in really any industry.
What's everyone else think?

Well Amazon competes with "insert department store" online so that's out.

Probably Google, but Amazon is kicking their competition's arse so it's tough to say.

Facebook owns Instagram bud.
Can it really be an monopoly on something you don't need to survive? If Facebook ceased to exist, would your life be negatively impacted?

Google competes with Bing and Yahoo. Yahoo just isn't very good. You can avoid Google.

1) Google
2) Amazon
3) Facebook
And Amazon is only going to gain ground on Google, methinks. They have their shite figured out.

None. Facebook is just entertainment and advertising. It's a new medium but people have many choices. Google vs bing vs yahoo vs Siri vs Alexa. Amazon web service is probably the closest to a monopoly of a vital service but I think they are only at about 40%. Other amazon services have many competitors.

Amazon easily
Amazon even makes the best cloud servers on the market (amazon was). They also give you unlimited cloud drive when you have amazon drive,google only 15gb
Amazon has a its on bank that loans retailers who use their marketplace money, and just takes it out of the sales you have using their own virtual terminal
Now google is biting off amazon. Amazon echo shots all over google home. Google wallet loll amazon is so huge they don't have to take PayPal and there isn't shot u Sam do about it, when u buy butcoins, doubt no one want a ducking google or Facebook gift card, amazon gift cArd is as good as cash

None are monopolies. Anybody who wants to can create a competing company.
