As before, the FTC tries to narrowly define the market it says Facebook is dominating by specifically excluding purpose-centric platforms like LinkedIn; video sites like YouTube and even Twitter, which the FTC says is mainly for people to get news and discuss their interests. — PolitiTweet.org

The fresh complaint also includes lots more examples of companies Facebook acquired over the years and either shut down or allegedly turned against other rivals, seemingly drawing from the House probe that Lina Khan, now the FTC chair, helped lead. https://t.co/DmM4UVyWpn — PolitiTweet.org

The FTC's new suit against Facebook tries to address a key reason the judge threw out its initial complaint: It didn't cite metrics for Facebook's market power. This time, the FTC points to Facebook's number of daily/monthly users and their engaged time: https://t.co/DmM4UVyWpn — PolitiTweet.org

It'll take some time to digest this new filing fully but the key question now is whether it sufficiently addresses the concerns raised by Judge Boasberg when he threw out the first complaint (a key one being that the FTC did not do enough to back up its monopoly claim). — PolitiTweet.org

This amended complaint is about 50 percent longer than the original and repeats the same major allegations: That Facebook allegedly engaged in anticompetitive acquisitions (particularly Instagram and WhatsApp) and denied third parties access to Facebook's platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook obviously has to start somewhere, and this is the first of many reports, so I'm sure future reports will cover much more. But just something to consider in terms of what this report brings to the table and how it fits into the broader convo about misinfo. — PolitiTweet.org

When lawmakers call on Facebook to police misinformation and conspiracy theories, they don't qualify it by saying "just do something about links and you'll be off the hook." They mean the total universe of misinformation that exists on the platform. — PolitiTweet.org

When Facebook says "hey, guess what, links are only a slice of the pie and 87 percent of what people see is organic!" it raises further questions about how much of that 87 percent is false, misleading or inflammatory organic content. — PolitiTweet.org

Setting aside whether the relevant metric should be engagement, views or some combo as a way of gauging influence and reach, we know from researchers and academics that misinformation and conspiracy theories shared as organic content is a major issue for social media. — PolitiTweet.org

One key way the report does this is by saying, "Look, links only make up a tiny slice of what people see on Facebook." The majority of what people see, Facebook says, is actually organic content from friends and groups. But I'm not sure this framing is that helpful, either. — PolitiTweet.org
