Meta has requested a federal judge to dismiss the FTC's antitrust case, arguing that the FTC's market definition is flawed. The case, centered on claims that Meta illegally dominates social media and suppresses competition, follows a trial where the FTC has accused Meta of acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to eliminate potential competition. Meta will continue its defense by emphasizing its competition with apps like TikTok and YouTube. Despite Meta's challenges, it remains uncertain how the judge will respond, as he may choose to let the case continue in court.
"After five weeks of trial, it is clear that the FTC has failed to meet the legal standard required under antitrust law," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.
The company claims that it faces tough competition from the likes of TikTok, YouTube and Elon Musk's X.
