Meta Platforms persuaded a US federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit that accused the company of illegally monopolizing shopping on Instagram by stealing the business plan of a now-defunct startup. Meta faces other antitrust lawsuits, including one from a defunct photo-sharing app that claims Meta drove it out of business. Meta last year defeated a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission that sought to force it to restructure or sell Instagram and WhatsApp. The company has denied the allegations in both cases. The case is Ollywan Limited v Meta Platforms Inc, US District Court, Northern District of California, No. 5:25-cv-08215. Are lawsuits against Meta genuine or someone is making money out of it ?
