( July 23, 2021, 21:19 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The US Federal Trade Commission has requested an extension, to Aug. 19, from a US federal court to file an amended monopolization complaint against Facebook. In an unopposed motion, the agency said the requested extension will provide sufficient time for it to "complete internal agency processes" with respect to filing the amended complaint. The FTC said the parties have agreed to the Aug. 19 deadline, and that Facebook will file its answer or respond to the agency's amended complaint by Oct. 4, 2021. The court had originally given the FTC until July 29, 2021 to file an amended complaint.See document below....
