The agency filed the amended complaint on Thursday after a federal judge dismissed its previous case in June. The judge ruled the FTC had not provided sufficient evidence that Facebook was a monopoly and gave the commission a second chance to pursue the case.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint accuses the social media site of buying competitors like Instagram and WhatsApp to protect its own business. \u201cThe FTC\u2019s claims are an effort to rewrite antitrust laws and upend settled expectations of merger review, declaring to the business community that no sale is ever final,\u201d claimed Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The amended version is about 30 pages longer than the original complaint and provides more evidence to support the FTC\u2019s claims. In the meantime, Facebook took to Twitter where it said it\u2019s reviewing the complaint and \u201cwill have more to say soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are reviewing the FTC\u2019s amended complaint and will have more to say soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Facebook Newsroom (@fbnewsroom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fbnewsroom\/status\/1428384912990687234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/federal-judge-reverses-bidens-policy-to-limit-ice-deportations\/\">Federal Judge Reverses Biden\u2019s Policy To Limit ICE Deportations<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 APRIL 21: FTC Commissioner nominee Lina M.
