A judge has officially sided with Meta, allowing the Facebook parent company to acquire VR startup Within Unlimited, the maker of the popular fitness app Supernatural.   The unsealed 65-page opinion offers new details why he ruled against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The ruling rejected the FTC's arguments for why Meta's acquisition of Within Unlimited was anti-competitive. The judge sided with the FTC on some legal and factual arguments, which could bolster the agency's case in any similar litigation in the future.  The request was led by FTC's Chair Lina Khan, a critic of big tech platforms like Meta. Facebook rebranded as Meta in October 2021. Meta said it would proceed with the purchase of Within Unlimited.
