New antitrust suit from Phhhoto alleges Facebook copied and killed the competition
https://techcrunch.com/2021/11/05/phhhoto-sues-meta-facebook-antitrust/
A former upstart Instagram rival is suing Meta, formerly known as Facebook, over allegations that the company violated antitrust laws by cloning a competing product and ultimately killing its business.
The app, Phhhoto, launched in 2014, inviting users to create and share short GIF-like videos. If that sounds familiar, that’s because the same functionality was popularized in Boomerang, an app made by Instagram. That feature is now integrated into Instagram’s core app experience.
