US District Judge Edward Davila, who oversaw the federal case, ruled in favor of Meta, stating that the FTC failed to provide sufficient evidence showing how the Within acquisition would be detrimental to the market. Although Davila’s ruling did not have a direct effect on the administrative case, the FTC has dropped such lawsuits before when a federal court denies an injunction. With the FTC’s withdrawal, Meta’s acquisition of Within on February 8th is now final.
