Meta secured a major legal victory after a federal judge ruled that the company did not violate antitrust laws when it bought Instagram and WhatsApp. The decision ends the current attempt by the Federal Trade Commission to force a breakup of the two platforms. The agency is still reviewing its options, so the broader matter may not be fully settled, but this ruling closes the latest chapter of a case that began in 2020. | Digital Information World
Creators have long watched their short videos reappear on other accounts with no credit attached. Meta is pushing a new response into the Facebook mobile app. The company’s Content Protection feature automatically protects original reels posted to Facebook and scans both Facebook and Instagram for full or partial matches. The tool lives in the Professional dashboard and aims to surface copies so creators can choose how to respond. | Digital Information World
