Prosecutor condemns ‘monopoly power’ as allegations center on acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp
The US government and a coalition of 48 states and districts have filed lawsuits against Facebook in a major antitrust offensive on Big Tech.
One lawsuit brings together nearly every state in the US, a coalition led by New York’s attorney general, Letitia James. “For nearly a decade, Facebook has used its dominance and monopoly power to crush smaller rivals and snuff out competition, all at the expense of everyday users,” said James in a statement.
