Media Tensions Escalate in Meta Antitrust Trial

Media Tensions Escalate in Meta Antitrust Trial
In the recent antitrust trial of Meta conducted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the long-standing tension between Silicon Valley and the media once again surfaced.During the trial, Mark Hansen, Meta's chief lawyer, mentioned in a fierce cross-examination of FTC’s key economic expert Scott Hemphill that Hemphill had proposed an anti-monopoly investigation into Meta alongside Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and former Biden official Tim Wu in 2019.Hansen displayed a slide of this investigation proposal in court, which mentioned the "public recognition" of two journalists, Kara Swisher and Om Malik, who had reported on Meta’s aggressive acquisition strategy. Hansen attempted to undermine Hemphill’s credibility by referring to Malik as a “failed blogger,” implying a personal grudge against Meta.
