FTC Drops Zuckerberg From Lawsuit Over VR Fitness App

The FTC agreed to drop Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg from its antitrust lawsuit against the company in exchange for Zuckerberg agreeing not to unilaterally purchase Within Unlimited and its virtual reality fitness app Supernatural (see 2207270059). The two sides agreed Tuesday to a joint stipulation dropping Zuckerberg as a defendant in 5:22-cv-04325 before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The FTC agreed to dismiss its claims against Zuckerberg as an individual, and the CEO agreed not to acquire Within Unlimited in his personal capacity or through any entity he controls.
