MLex Summary: Meta Platforms is asking EU judges to overturn an antitrust fine imposed for abusing the power of its Facebook social network, arguing that the European Commission wrongly found “tying” and “unfair trading conditions.” In seven pleas to the General Court, published in the EU’s Official Journal, Meta flags errors in the legal analysis, the definition of the market, the level of the fine, as well as “specific remedies” imposed by the commission.
