Following the first report about the Trump Administration's looming war with Silicon Valley - a late Friday report from WSJ about the DoJ opening an anti-trust probe into Google - WSJ's latest follow up on Monday is a report that the FTC is preparing to open a similar investigation into Facebook.

The news sent Facebook shares down more than 7% in midday trade, wiping $5 billion off CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth in minutes.

It's the biggest drop in FB shares since December.

Earlier, the Washington Post published more details about the incipient anti-trust push when it revealed that the FTC would lead an anti-trust probe into Amazon, as the FTC and DoJ divide up the anti-trust push on a company-by-company basis.
