Both federal regulators and state attorneys filed lawsuits against Facebook for breaking antitrust laws on Wednesday. The government is aiming to breakup the social media giant because Facebook’s “dominance deprives consumers of pro-privacy choices.”
The numerous lawsuits filed on behalf of 46 U.S. states, Guam and the District of Columbia were welcomed by the U.S. Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG).
