Judge Allows FTC's Amended Antitrust Complaint Against Facebook to Proceed

In a colorful order, United States District Judge James E. Boasberg wrote that the amended complaint that the agency filed in August offered “more robust and detailed” evidence showing that Facebook has an alleged monopoly.
