In a motion for summary judgment, Meta said the Federal Trade Commission can’t prove its relevant market or that the Instagram and WhatsApp purchases harmed consumers.

Meta is asking a federal court to dispense with the Federal Trade Commission’s anti-monopoly lawsuit against it, arguing it’s failed to unearth evidence to support its claims. In a motion for summary judgment filed Friday, Meta argues that the lawsuit should be thrown out because the company believes the FTC won’t be able to prove what it claims is the relevant market in the case or that its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp harmed consumers.

It says the court just needs to look at how social media users interchange content between Instagram and TikTok or YouTube, particularly through their shortform video features. “The FTC contends that 100% of the time spent on Reels is PSNS, including watching Reels posted by celebrities, creators, and public accounts with no connection to the viewer,” Meta says.
