August 19, 2021 at 12:01 PM EDT
The agency voted 3-2 along party lines to amend its monopoly claim; FTC Chair Lina Khan supported the new complaint. The commission denied Facebook's request that Khan, a fierce critic of Big Tech, be recused. The agency had until Thursday to file an amended complaint to continue its claims against the social-networking giant.
