A federal judge on Tuesday ruled the Federal Trade Commission can move forward with its revised antitrust case alleging Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook unit is abusing a monopoly position in social media, rejecting the company’s request to dismiss the government’s amended lawsuit. “Although the agency may well face a tall task down the road in proving its allegations, the court believes that it has now cleared the pleading bar and may proceed to discovery,” U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., said in a 48-page opinion.
