The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will appeal a court decision in its antitrust case against Meta Platforms. The lawsuit alleges Meta holds an illegal social networking monopoly. It claims Meta unlawfully maintained this position by acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp.
The appeal seeks to revive the legal challenge. This move signals continued regulatory scrutiny of Meta’s past acquisitions and current market power. The outcome could impact Meta's business structure and future M&A activities.
