Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--
On the morning of March 31, Beijing time, it was reported that Meta had previously encountered an antitrust lawsuit over photo social software. The plaintiff, Phhhoto, accused Facebook of squeezing out the business of its own photo app (which has been discontinued), which is a violation of US federal antitrust law. On Thursday, local time, a US court dismissed the lawsuit.
Judge Kiyo Matsumoto of the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, New York, said that the US federal antitrust law established a four-year litigation window for violations, while the New York state competition clause stipulated a three-year statute of limitations, and the plaintiff did not file a lawsuit in a timely manner within these time windows.
The judge said that Phhoto did not present sufficient facts in the lawsuit to explain that it did not file a lawsuit against Meta in time in accordance with federal law, and that there was no reason to make an exception to the plaintiff on the issue of statute of limitations.
The court refused to allow the plaintiff to amend the complaint and file the lawsuit again.
Hausfeld, the law firm represented by the plaintiffs, had no comment on Thursday.
In a statement, a spokesman for Meta said the lawsuit was simply untenable.
It is reported that Phhhoto, which was founded in 2014, has developed a mobile software that can produce short videos that consist of five frames and can be played in a loop. Two years before the company was founded, Meta bought Instagram, a social tool for mobile photo sharing, for $1 billion.
In 2021, Phhhoto filed an antitrust complaint with the court, accusing Facebook of "destroying" its photo-sharing software. In court documents, the company claims to be an innovative company that competes with Facebook.
In court, lawyers for Phhhoto said Meta used control of critical infrastructure to reduce the quality of Phhhoto content and the user experience of the software, while misleading and harming consumers.
However, Facebook denied any violation of market competition in the case.
It should be pointed out that Meta faces a number of lawsuits in the United States, and a number of plaintiffs accuse it of violating US antitrust laws. Among them, the Federal Trade Commission of the US government has also filed a complaint in court in Washington, accusing the company of abusing its dominant position in the personal social network market, and Meta is trying its best to defend it.
