we know the complete slant and spins of ITIF. so many misstatements of facts by ITIF. these people are against all antitrust law and enforcement. I struggled to listen to these debaters.

this case is not about time and attention

Facebook/Instagram have total control of PSN to the point they can and do limit Friends/Family sharing; the numbers on sharing are controlled by Meta. This is harm. I want more people in my network to see my posts and Facebook and Instagram will not allow that. They limit our sharing with Friends/Family because they want us to watch videos so they can compete with Tiktok.

Instagram had 80m+ users before Facebook closed its purchase. Instagram was growing so fast Facebook freaked out. Instagram did not need Facebook for anything. It was Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook that was desperate to acquire Instagram. Facebook needed to Instagram as Facebook had nothing working on mobile phones. Facebook had an HTML5 website for Facebook and not a native app.

Tiktok is not Facebook or Instagram. My friends/family don't make content on Tiktok. They share nothing on Tiktok. These debaters people dont appear to understand the difference between the apps because they don't use them.

I am hoping the FTC wins and feel they should based on law and the facts.

Thank you
