Meta's recent FTC antitrust hearing revealed significant vulnerabilities in the company's redactions. The Verge discovered that the redactions on their opening statement slides were easy to remove, leading to insights about competition with Apple's iMessage and a mention of other apps like TikTok thriving alongside Meta's platforms. The findings echoed previous instances of poor redaction practices in high-profile cases, such as Sony's leaked PlayStation secrets. The situation raises questions about how companies manage sensitive information in legal settings and the broader implications for antitrust law.
The poorly executed redactions in Meta's FTC hearing slides revealed insights about competition with Apple's iMessage and the success rates of apps like TikTok and YouTube.
The issue of redactions has been a contentious one, as evidenced by similar mistakes made in other high-profile cases, pointing to a larger trend of information leaks in antitrust matters.
