@Nonilex "...US #antitrust enforcers seek to unwind the deals." Until cockzucker goes to MAGAlardo to kiss #MAGAmoron's ass, grovel and pay a sufficient bribe to have the #FTC go away.
#Facebook parent #Meta faces a high-stakes trial starting on Mon on claims it built an illegal #socialmedia #monopoly by spending billions to acquire #Instagram & #WhatsApp, in a case where US #antitrust enforcers seek to unwind the deals.
The acquisitions more than a decade ago aimed to eliminate nascent competitors who could threaten Facebook's status as the go-to social media platform…, the #FTC claims. It filed the case in 2020 during #Trump's first term.

#FTC vs #Meta
I know who we're all rooting for, but it sounds like FTC is weak, with a weak case. It's so sad to see #antitrust #law crumbling.

The #Trump admin Wednesday asked #SCOTUS to allow the president to remove a pair of #independent #regulators whose cases have broad implications for at least two dozen other agencies, including the #FederalReserve Board, & for how the federal govt operates.
Trump has moved aggressively to seize greater control of the bureaucracy, ousting independent #watchdogs & removing the two #Democrats on the #FTC, which protects #consumers from deceptive practices & monopoly #power.
@HonkHase WTF!?
Ich denke mal ne Menge Leute werden daraufhin nicht nur #Tmobile in den #USA sonden auch der #DTAG die Tür vor der Nase zuschlagen, denn #Diversität war der Grund für deren Erfolg in den USA!
Aber okay, so kann nen #Konzern halt jahrelange, harte Arbeit von beliebten #Managern kaputtmachen!!!

It seems #Trump is trying to stack the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) with his Republican appointees— having recently fired the two Democratic commissioners while appointing one Republican so far to take their place (that person is awaiting Senate confirmation).
The fired commissioners are suing for termination without cause. They received letters saying only that “their continued service at the FTC was ‘inconsistent’ with the administration’s policies.”
