Summary

The FTC rested its case against Meta after weeks of testimony in an antitrust case, but the company has now filed a motion to have the case dismissed entirely, arguing that the regulator hasn't proven anticompetitive behavior on Meta's part. Meta claims it invested heavily in successful apps with massive user bases and challenges the FTC's assertion of limited competition for "personal social networking services," citing direct competitors like Snapchat and MeWe.
