Let’s Learn from Meta’s Antitrust Case What Not to Do with AI
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg’s decision dismissing the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) lawsuit against Meta, which accused the company of maintaining a monopoly in the market for “personal social networking,” may have closed the door on one era of activist antitrust enforcement against so-called “Big Tech.”
