A recent report claims that a group of at least 40 states led by New York is set to file an antitrust lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook as early as next week.
A recent report from CNBC states that sources believe that a lawsuit could be filed against social media giant Facebook as early as next week. A group of 40 states led by New York have been investigating Facebook for possible antitrust violations and plans to file a lawsuit against the company, according to four sources.
The lawsuit would be the second major case taken against a major tech firm this year following the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Google in October. Over 40 states reportedly plan to sign on to the Facebook lawsuit one source said, but would not provide the list of states.

....but for what?
It is probably repeat of the Tobacco Law suits.
These states have just figured that Facebook now has enough enemies that they can strike GOLD.
Nothing more than a shakedown for dem political contributions.
When state treasuries run low, time to take a pickaxe to the poor dumb bastards who thought they could escape without being robbed.
Nothing more than a shakedown for dem political contributions.
Yep. Lobbyist payola payments have exploded in size in the swamp and the state pols want more too.
NY has sued MS,Intel for pointless violations and won.
FB issues are much more serious.
Most likely its just a shakedown for money (just like MS and Intel)
Its funny, soon after Intel was attacked, they began their diversity march to oblivion.
Yes, a big red flag.
Yup their bribe check must have bounced.
