美國聯邦貿易委員會指控Meta在IG及WhatsApp交易上隱瞞資料
美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)尋求分拆Meta(META.US)的訴訟持續，FTC向法庭提交的文件顯示， Meta在聯邦監管機構調查其收購Instagram及WhatsApp的交易時隱瞞資料。 Meta發言人表示，FTC未能提供證據支持其說法，有證據顯示Meta在社交媒體平台上面臨激烈競爭，同時Meta在Instagram及WhatsApp上投入大量的時間及資源，讓數以百萬計用戶免費享受這些服務，從而令消費者受惠。 歐洲反壟斷監管機構於2017年時亦曾對Meta處以1.1億歐元的罰款，因Meta就WhatsApp交易提供具誤導性資料。(mn/da)~ 阿思達克財經新聞 網址: www.aastocks.com
