The federal government and 48 attorneys general filed twin lawsuits against Facebook on Wednesday seeking to potentially break up the tech giant and restrict future business practices.
The Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general from 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam are challenging Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The lawsuits are also seeking to force Facebook to notify the federal government of any future acquisitions worth $10 million or more.
