Facebook calls U.S. FTC's refiled antitrust case 'meritless'

(Reuters) - Facebook Inc said the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's refiled antitrust case against the company was "meritless" in a statement on Thursday, saying the FTC's claims were an effort to rewrite antitrust laws and upend settled expectations of merger review.

"There was no valid claim that Facebook was a monopolist -and that has not changed," a Facebook spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "We will continue vigorously defending our company," they added.
