At issue is whether Meta’s acquisition of the small company that makes a VR fitness app called Supernatural will hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market. If the deal is allowed to go through, the FTC argues, it would violate antitrust laws and dampen innovation, hurting people who may face higher prices and fewer options outside of Meta-controlled platforms.
Meta, the FTC argued in court this week, scrapped its own plans to enter the nascent VR fitness market in the summer of 2021 when it decided to buy Within. But Meta says it had no concrete plans to create a competing app beyond the initial discussion stage, where it concluded it had no ability to do so.The agency and Meta also disagree on how to define the market that Within’s popular app falls into.
