Meta has filed a motion for judgment on the antitrust case it’s currently fighting in court. The motion argues that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has failed to produce any evidence that Meta unlawfully monopolized part of the social networking market, something the government argues it did through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.

The FTC just rested its case following weeks of testimony in a landmark antitrust case against Meta. But before Meta can begin its defense, the company's lawyers have opted for another move: asking the judge to throw out the case entirely.

Facebook’s parent company, Meta, asked a federal judge to toss the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust case against it. Meta claimed that the FTC failed to prove during the trial that the company violated antitrust laws and that acquiring both Instagram and WhatsApp was anticompetitive.
