FB - Facebook preparing broad legal attack on Apple - report
Months of sour sniping is turning toward legal action: Facebook (FB +3.2%) is looking to take its feud with Apple (AAPL -2.1%) to court, according to The Information. For months, the report says, the social network has been preparing an antitrust suit in which it would say Apple abused power in the smartphone market by enforcing App Store rules on other developers that Apple's own apps don't have to follow. Facebook has been in a war of words over Apple's privacy-focused changes to iOS that make it harder to track users across apps. But the new move looks like a broad legal case challenging the App Store rules as anticompetitive. And while the case might not eventually be filed, it still indicates a deeper split at Facebook, which is facing internal resistance from employees over its feud with Apple.
