WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Meta Platforms Inc's Facebook asked a U.S. court on Wednesday to dismiss and not allow the refiling of an antitrust lawsuit by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission which urges a court to demand that the company sell two big subsidiaries.
In its court filing, Facebook argued that the FTC had "no plausible factual support" for its claim that the company has the market clout to push up prices in the social network market. The social media giant also said the FTC failed to "plausibly establish" that Facebook acted illegally to protect a monopoly.
