\tFacebook pressed a court to dismiss a pair of competition lawsuits filed by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a coalition of 46 states which sought to break up the company, arguing the allegations against it were not credible.<\/p>\n

In a blog, Facebook claimed the actions failed to demonstrate harm to either competition or consumers and therefore did not amount to \u201cplausible\u201d complaints.<\/p>\n

Facebook argued in a court filing the FTC did not show the company held a monopoly in a defined market or engaged in \u201cunlawful exclusionary conduct\u201d, adding an allegation \u201cconsumers might have had even better products\u201d without the social media company \u201cis conclusory, speculative and entirely insufficient to meet its pleading obligations\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a separate filing, Facebook blasted the 46 US states\u2019 case as an \u201cafterthought\u201d, claiming it failed to demonstrate the company\u2019s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were illegal.<\/p>\n

The FTC and states filed separate actions in December 2020 accusing Facebook of abusing its dominant position [1] in the market and seeking a divestment of assets including Instagram and WhatsApp among other actions to help restore competition.<\/p>\n
