When it comes to Facebook, it feels like we’re living in an ongoing courtroom drama that could rival any courtroom thriller out there. Picture this: Tim Wu, a sharp-tongued policy guru, and Chris Hughes, one of Facebook’s very own founders, walk into an antitrust hearing like it’s their first day at Hogwarts, armed with a presentation that might as well come with its own theme music.
In a captivating twist, they pitched a probe to regulators that’d make Sherlock Holmes proud. We’re talking about a 2019 deck that looks to dig into Facebook’s not-so-public antics, raising questions that are juicier than your average soap opera plot twist. 🕵️♂️💼
But hold onto your coffee cups, because here’s where it gets interesting: Meta’s lawyer, Mark Hansen, pops up like a jack-in-the-box, dishing out some spicy tea about how the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and the expert witness, Scott Hemphill, didn’t even produce those slides! It’s like finding out that the plot twist was just fan fiction written by the audience.
And speaking of twists, imagine trying to figure out where those mysterious slides—including one with a finger visible on a phone photo—actually came from! Spooky, right?
So, as the antitrust game of chess unfolds, with regulators, lawyers, and ex-founders exchanging their best moves, one thing is clear: when it comes to Facebook, it’s no longer a simple click-and-scroll; it’s a high-stakes game that’s ready to keep us all on the edge of our seats.
