Meta has been caught up in antitrust chaos for years now, so the company has decided to try a new tactic: bullying smaller competitors with subpoenas. Some of those companies, like photo-sharing app Dispo, have as few as 25 employees and nowhere near enough manpower to fight legal cases with Big Tech.
Dispo’s subpoena includes 36 individual requests for internal documentation, TechCrunch reports, ranging from detailed user metrics to consumer privacy requests. The subpoena was received on March 23, right around when Meta began sending subpoenas to larger tech companies, too.
