Washington DC, according to NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) a top cybersecurity firm in the United States detailed on December 8 that it fell victim to a recent cyber attack likely linked to a foreign government.

Washington DC, The Federal Trade Commission today sued Facebook, alleging that the company is illegally maintaining its personal social networking monopoly through a years-long course of anticompetitive conduct. Following a lengthy investigation in cooperation with a coalition of attorneys general of 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam, the complaint alleges that Facebook has engaged in a systematic strategy—including its 2012 acquisition of up-and-coming rival Instagram, its 2014 acquisition of the mobile messaging app WhatsApp, and the imposition of anticompetitive conditions on software developers—to eliminate threats to its monopoly.

Washington DC, The Department of Justice announced today that it filed a lawsuit against Facebook Inc. for discriminating against U.S. workers.
