    I doubt it. I am not a lawyer in any way. The layman in me, with his tinfoil hat thinks that the FTC are trying to throw this case. So that Meta and anyone else they do this for will have precedent to make a break up in the future harder.

      I am a bit curious to where this will go, I agree it looks to be what you say, an opportunity to throw the case and get a ruling that will fortify things against a breakup.

      On the other hand Musk despises the Zuck and is petty enough to work towards breaking up Zuckerberg’s empire behind the scenes. He would love to buy up chunks of it.

        This a good point, and seems very plausible. Technocrats trying to fuck with each other using the courts is almost traditional at this point.
