Attorneys General Challenge Meta Monopoly Ruling

Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford joins 29 other states in a fierce legal push against a court ruling that sided with Meta, arguing the FTC’s antitrust case against the social media giant must stand — even if market conditions have shifted since the complaint. The core dispute: Meta allegedly used its power to buy up rivals like Instagram and WhatsApp to stifle competition, violating antitrust laws. While a district court ruled Meta no longer a monopoly, the attorneys general say that’s irrelevant — antitrust cases must be judged by the market’s state at the time of the complaint. This battle, now headed to the D.C. Circuit Court, could reshape how big tech is regulated, setting a precedent that protects competition and consumer choice in the digital age.
