The FTC and Facebook

Episode Summary

The US filed two separate antitrust cases against Facebook, calling for Instagram and WhatsApp to be split off. There's lots for lawyers to argue about here, but more interesting - what would this actually achieve? Would it work? And are the laws coming from the EU this week a better model? (!?)

Episode Notes

Benedict and Toni talk about the latest big antitrust push - the US (both states and FTC) versus Facebook. Will it work? And how to contrast it with the laws the EU will announce this week?
