Meta's spokesperson emphasized, "More than 10 years after the FTC reviewed and cleared these deals, and despite overwhelming evidence... the Commission is wrongly continuing to assert that no deal is ever truly final."
Judge James Boasberg's ruling allows the FTC's amended complaint to proceed, affirming the agency's concerns that Meta's acquisitions may stifle competition in the social media market.
