Facebook antitrust case

The Facebook antitrust case alleges that the company used its dominance in social media to stifle competition, particularly by acquiring potential rivals like Instagram and WhatsApp to prevent them from challenging its market position. Regulators argue this behavior reduces choices for consumers and limits innovation, possibly leading to higher prices and less diverse options in digital services. The case aims to scrutinize whether Facebook's strategies violate antitrust laws designed to promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the technology industry.
