Political pressure surfaces again
Zuckerberg’s legal clash with the FTC was initiated during Donald Trump’s First term as US president.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Meta boss had directly approached Trump, asking him to press the FTC to drop the antitrust case against the tech giant.
Previously tense, the relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg seems to have improved since the fallout from Trump’s ban on Meta platforms following the January 6 Capitol riots.
The case, overseen by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, could last up to two months.
