Court Affirms Dismissal of Antitrust Suit Against Meta Over Instagram, WhatsApp

New York and other state attorneys general waited too long to sue Meta Platforms Inc. over its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, a federal appeals court ruled, upholding the dismissal of their antitrust suit. “The states were on notice of Facebook’s two major acquisitions. Both were publicized,” a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit wrote . We “agree with the district court that the States unduly delayed in bringing suit.”
