Meta faces legal challenges from the Federal Trade Commission over its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC claims these purchases helped Meta gain control of social media markets and reduce competition. In federal court, the agency presented emails where CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote about "crushing" competition before buying Instagram in 2012 and called WhatsApp a "big risk" before acquiring it in 2014.
FTC lawyer Daniel Matheson argued that Meta bought rivals instead of competing with them, leaving consumers with lower-quality options. Meta attorney Mark Hansen countered that the company improved both platforms after purchase. He emphasized that Meta services remain free, claiming this shows the company lacks monopoly power...

Despite hopes for an untouched device, the customer discovered dust covering the camera lenses - something never seen on factory-fresh iPhones.

The customer visited an AT&T store seeking a replacement but learned the store manager was absent. Staff claimed little could be done without the manager present. They said that even with management available, replacement would require additional fees. Customer support offered a return option...
