FTC Motion in San Jose Seeks to Compel Meta Discovery Materials

The FTC wants the court to compel Meta “to produce all non-privileged information responsive to the FTC’s discovery requests” in the agency’s lawsuit to block Meta’s Within Unlimited buy on anticompetitive grounds, said its motion Wednesday (docket 5:22-cv-04325) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. The two sides “have met and conferred extensively but were unsuccessful in resolving the disputes,” it said. Among the disputed FTC interrogatories is one that seeks information about virtual reality dedicated fitness products that have applied, or sought to apply, to be carried in Meta’s Quest Store, plus the dates and dispositions of those applications, said the motion. Meta’s response “is a massive data production that is both overbroad and underinclusive,” it said.
