US antitrust officials are nearing a final decision on bringing a lawsuit against Facebook Inc that accuses the social-media giant of using its dominance to harm competition, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Staff at the US Federal Trade Commission support bringing a case, which could be filed in the coming weeks, the person said. A final decision about suing the company rests with the five-member commission. The commission met on Oct 22 to discuss the case, according to the person, who declined to be named because the investigation is confidential.
