The tech giants have sued the hacking company NOS. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others teamed up with Facebook in a legal battle against the Israeli cyber surveillance firm that exploited a bug in WhatsApp to spy on more than 1,400 people worldwide.

Zucked: the United States government wants to break up Facebook

Less than 2 months ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) smacked Google with an antitrust case.

In perhaps the greatest “hold my beer” ever, another government agency -- the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) -- just launched an antitrust case of its own against Facebook.

And, unlike the Google case, this case is aiming for a breakup of its Big Tech target, according to the New York Times.

More than 40 states will join in on the lawsuit.
