Why the FTC v. Meta Trial Matters: Competition Gaps and Civil Liberties Opportunities
Briefly

The resurgence of antitrust litigation against Big Tech aims to foster user privacy and online expression by challenging monopolistic power. Key cases include recent rulings against Google and the ongoing FTC v. Meta, centered on Meta's control of social media platforms. The outcomes could transform the future of internet connectivity, promoting competition and diverse communication methods rather than reinforcing existing monopolies that limit community formation and transparency. Antitrust isn't just about pricing; it's fundamentally about redistributing power in the digital landscape to enhance user experience.
