- The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit in 2020 that, if successful, would force social media giant Meta to sell Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Meta filed a motion for summary judgment on Friday and is seeking a dismissal, claiming that the FTC has not provided evidence for its claims.
- A judge already dismissed the initial lawsuit in 2020, but the FTC submitted a revised complaint in 2021. Now, Meta wants the new complaint to be dismissed for the same reason.
