Facebook is asking a federal court to dismiss a revised complaint against it by the Federal Trade Commission, arguing that the agency has not provided enough evidence to show that the company is a monopoly.

In a motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Facebook said the FTC failed to prove that it has a monopoly in the 91裸聊视频減ersonal social networking space91裸聊视频� because no reliable data exists to show the size of the market or of Facebook91裸聊视频檚 share of it.

91裸聊视频淭he FTC91裸聊视频檚 fictional market ignores the competitive reality: Facebook competes vigorously with TikTok, iMessage, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube, and countless others to help people share, connect, communicate or simply be entertained,91裸聊视频� Facebook said in a statement. 91裸聊视频淭he FTC cannot credibly claim Facebook has monopoly power because no such power exists.91裸聊视频�

Facebook91裸聊视频檚 motion was filed on the day it and its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms suffered a worldwide outage. It also came a day after whistleblower Frances Haugen, a former Facebook product manager, went public on CBS91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频�60 Minutes91裸聊视频� program to discuss internal documents exposing the company91裸聊视频檚 awareness of harms caused by its products and decisions.

A federal judge in June dismissed earlier antitrust lawsuits brought against Facebook by the agency and a broad coalition of state attorneys general that were among multiplying efforts by federal and state regulators to rein in tech titans91裸聊视频� market power.

The FTC91裸聊视频檚 new, revised complaint filed in August alleges that the social network giant pursued a laser-focused strategy to 91裸聊视频渂uy or bury91裸聊视频� rivals to suppress competition.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had ruled in June that the FTC91裸聊视频檚 original lawsuit was 91裸聊视频渓egally insufficient91裸聊视频� and didn91裸聊视频檛 provide enough evidence to prove Facebook was a monopoly. He dismissed the states91裸聊视频� separate complaint outright.

But his ruling only dismissed the FTC91裸聊视频檚 complaint, not the case, giving the agency a chance to file a revised complaint. In the new filing, the FTC laid out a detailed analysis to substantiate its monopoly power claim.

91裸聊视频淒irect evidence, including historical events and market realities91裸聊视频� confirms the allegation, the complaint says. The harm to consumers from the lack of competition 91裸聊视频渋s particularly severe,91裸聊视频� it says.

The FTC did not have a comment on Facebook91裸聊视频檚 motion to dismiss.
