On 27 April 2023, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit affirms the lower-court ruling that dismissed the lawsuit initially filed by New York and numerous other states regarding Meta's alleged creation and maintenance of a monopoly position. The initial complaint by the states aimed to undo Meta's previous acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, alleging that the company's approach of "buy-or-bury" violated antitrust laws. In 2021, a federal judge dismissed the complaint, stating that it was filed long after the acquisitions had been finalized in 2012 and 2014. The appellate decision aligned with the federal judge's ruling. The claims that Meta's policies restricting app developers were anticompetitive and constituted exclusive dealing were found to be unsubstantiated. The policies prohibited developers from duplicating Meta's core products but did not violate federal antitrust laws. At this moment, Meta still faces a pending lawsuit by the FTC regarding Meta's acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp.
