Meta將面臨Instagram和WhatsApp收購的反壟斷審判
華盛頓(路透社)- 擁有Facebook的Meta Platforms(NASDAQ:META)必須在美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)提起的訴訟中進行審判,該訴訟旨在要求拆分該公司,理由是其收購Instagram和WhatsApp是為了打壓社交媒體中的新興競爭對手,華盛頓的一名法官於周三作出了這一裁決。
FTC於2020年在特朗普政府期間起訴Meta的Facebook,指控該公司違法行為以維持其社交網絡壟斷地位。
FTC聲稱,Meta在2012年過高的價格收購Instagram和2014年收購WhatsApp,目的是消除潛在的威脅,而不是在移動生態系統中自主競爭。
Meta則辯稱,FTC的案件依賴於對社交媒體市場的過於狹窄的看法,並未考慮到來自字節跳動的TikTok、谷歌的YouTube、X和微軟(NASDAQ:MSFT)的LinkedIn等競爭。
該案件是FTC和美國司法部對大型科技公司發起的五起轟動性訴訟之一。亞馬遜(NASDAQ:AMZN)和蘋果(NASDAQ:AAPL)均已被起訴,而谷歌(NASDAQ:GOOGL)則面臨兩起訴訟,其中一名法官最近裁定其非法阻礙了在線搜索引擎的競爭。
這一反壟斷案件的發展不僅對Meta的未來具有深遠影響,還可能為整個科技行業帶來震動。隨著社交媒體平台的競爭加劇,如何平衡市場競爭與企業壟斷之間的界限,將成為監管機構需要面對的重大挑戰。
從更廣泛的角度來看,這場審判可能會對其他大型科技公司產生警示作用,尤其是在全球範圍內,反壟斷監管正日益嚴格。企業在進行收購時,必須更加謹慎,避免被認為是壟斷行為。此案件的結果不僅會影響Meta的商業模式,還可能重塑整個科技行業的競爭格局。

![In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.
Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.
Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement.](https://ssfuture.shop/wp-content/uploads/ai_gen_1764968297-300x300.png)
