Q: “CURT: HOW DOES NLI’S CASE AGAINST FACEBOOK DIFFER FROM THE FTC’S CASE?”

The FTC case is arguing against anti-competitive practices of Meta as a consequence of its acquisitions.
The NLI case is more substantive in that we argue that social networks of such dominance are functioning as “Common Carriers” and as such constitute necessary social, economic, and political infrastructure necessary for the preservation of a democratic polity. And as such while meta may prohibit criminal and immoral (seductive) content consistent with the general application of the existing law, that they may widely distribute content that is apolitical and of demonstrated common interest, but it may not suppress content within networks of those that subscribe to one another with the intention of consuming political or other content conforming to their wants and needs.
While the FTC may pursue their case as an orthogonal attack on these companies, it is our (NLI) opinion that directly addressing this issue and if necessary escalating it to the supreme court is the only durable solution to the problem.
