"Mita" stares the risk over the course of her trial on the pretext of monopoly

The US Federal Trade Committee started its judicial fight against the “Mita Platfarmes” company today, claiming that the company should take the need apart because of the illegal monopoly on the social media market by acquiring “Instagram” and “WhatsApp” by more than a decade ago. The plea of ​​the committee began in a long -term case in Washington, before Chief Justice James Boasberg on Monday. The commission’s lawyers are scheduled to provide their opening pleasure, which is in line with the defense of the company. And if success is written for the committee in this issue, the “Instagram” and “WhatsApp” separation years of integration between applications will be undermined, and two of the most used digital products around the world will be disrupted, and can also eradicate hundreds of billions of dollars from the market value of the business. It will also open the door to questions about how the US government evaluates and agrees to commercial transactions. Meta -Monopolistic Practices Despite the warning against excessive organization, Federal Trade Committee Head Andrew Ferguson Monday morning in an interview with Fox Business Channel that “the laws against monopoly can help ensure that no private company has achieved some influence that negatively affects the lives of all Americans.” The hearing is expected to take about two months, and CEO CEO Mark Zuckerberg and former CEO Sherrill Sandberg include. The committee says that the ‘dead’ acquisition of ‘Instagram’ and ‘WhatsApp’ is a ‘fatal acquisition’ that has prevented the companies from competing in the market. To strengthen his claim that “Mita” is a monopoly company, the committee will rely on a decline in the quality of applications, especially with the increase in advertising and the weakening of privacy protection. The defense of “Meta”, in return, stood “Mita” strongly against the committee’s allegations, confirming that it faces a fierce competition from other platforms, including “Bayt Dance”, “Snapchat” to the company “Snap”, and the “YouTube” platform of “Google”, and “Apple”. The Federal Trade Committee may have problems in court. Although Judge Bouasberg requested a ‘dead’ last November to abandon the case, he indicated that ‘the success of the committee at this stage will not hide the fact that it will face difficult questions about the ability to prove his allegations during the hearing.’ “Mita” also confirms that the committee had the opportunity to contest the procurement agreements on “Instagram” in 2012 and “WhatsApp” in 2014, but that it allowed the course of it at the time. The developments of the case, the committee, began its investigation against “Mita” during the first Trump administration in 2019 and filed a lawsuit in December 2020. Former committee president Lina Khan accelerated the case during the administration of President Joe Biden, and is now in the hands of Ferguson, who was appointed president of the committee by Trump last January. This issue will be a test of US government’s ability to organize competition in the technological sector, as this sector has seen major changes since 2019, including Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, and the rise of ‘Talk Talk’ to become one of the most important applications on social media worldwide, in addition to launching ‘dead’ competitive products for the two platforms.
