Facebook parent Meta is sparring with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in federal court over its pending acquisition of a virtual reality fitness company.

At issue is whether Meta’s acquisition of the small company that makes a VR fitness app called Supernatural will hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market. If the deal is allowed to go through, the FTC argues, it would violate antitrust laws and dampen innovation, hurting people who may face higher prices and fewer options outside of Meta-controlled platforms.

Meta, the FTC argued in court this week, scrapped its own plans to enter the nascent VR fitness market in the summer of 2021 when it decided to buy Within. But Meta says it had no concrete plans to create a competing app beyond the initial discussion stage, where it concluded it had no ability to do so.The agency and Meta also disagree on how to define the market that Within’s popular app falls into.

Russia focused on US, Ukraine, Africa with coordinated tactics on websites like Facebook: MetaMeta says it disrupted more than 200 global networks engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior since 2017. Meta defined some attempts as 'efforts to manipulate public debate for a strategic goal where fake accounts are central to the operation.' Unlike the Federal government that simply tells large social media companies what can be discussed? 🤔 They also threw the 2020 election for the Dems. Lots of money & effort to hide reality & push lies. Stay off Facebook until they are sued into changing. Don’t support oppression. Russia is the least of our problems. Biden regime is killing America from within.
