US judge dismisses landmark antitrust case against Meta Washington, Nov 18 (AFP) Nov 18, 2025 A US federal judge on Tuesday dismissed the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit against Meta, ruling that the tech giant does not hold a monopoly in social media. The ruling delivers a significant victory to Meta after a five-year legal battle that began when the US agency filed suit in December 2020, claiming the company illegally maintained its monopoly by acquiring Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 to eliminate competitive threats. arp/aha |
