The FTC is not backing down in its antitrust legal battle against Facebook.
AFP via Getty ImagesThe agency filed an amended complaint against the social media giant on Thursday -- voting 3-2 along party lines to proceed -- after a federal judge in June dismissed an initial antitrust complaint brought by the FTC.
Vedova said the FTC's latest legal move seeks to"put an end to this illegal activity and restore competition for the benefit of Americans and honest businesses alike.", though the FTC said the new complaint includes additional data and evidence. The agency alleges in a statement that after Facebook suffered"significant failures during this critical transition period," the company opted instead to engage in anticompetitive behavior and buy up mobile innovators, including former rivals Instagram and WhatsApp.
