Meta Prevails in Antitrust Trial: Not a Monopoly, Says Judge
Meta 在反垄断审判中获胜：法官称其并非垄断企业

After a five – year legal battle, Meta has won an antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC sued Meta over its acquisitions of Instagram in 2012 for $1 billion and WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion.On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled that the FTC failed to prove Meta was violating antitrust law with these acquisitions. Although the FTC presented evidence that Meta (then Facebook) was worried about Instagram’s rapid growth and potential competition – as seen in Mark Zuckerberg’s 2012 email about “buying time” – the judge focused on whether Meta is a monopoly currently.
经过五年的法律较量，Meta 在美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）提起的反垄断诉讼中胜诉。FTC 就 Meta 在 2012 年以 10 亿美元收购 Instagram 以及 2014 年以 190 亿美元收购 WhatsApp 一事对其提起诉讼。周二，美国地方法院法官詹姆斯・博斯伯格裁定，FTC 未能证明 Meta 在这些收购行为中违反了反垄断法。尽管 FTC 提供的证据显示 Meta（当时为 Facebook）曾担忧 Instagram 的快速增长及潜在竞争，比如马克・扎克伯格在 2012 年的邮件中提到 “争取时间”，但法官关注的是 Meta 当前是否构成垄断。
