The FTC alleges Facebook undertook a "buy-or-bury" scheme where it illegally acquired competitors with mobile features to compensate for its own insufficient offerings.

FTC Bureau of Competition Acting Director Holly Vedova added, "Facebook’s actions have suppressed innovation and product quality improvements.
