1. FTC has 30 days to fix complaint:
"For the foregoing reasons, the Court will grant Facebook’s Motion to Dismiss, but it will dismiss without prejudice only the Complaint, not the case. The Court will also grant leave to amend and order Plaintiff to file any amended Complaint

2. within thirty days. A contemporaneous Order so stating shall issue this day." I need to look at the state case. There were two cases.

3. States' complaint was dismissed without leave to amend for two reasons:
"First, the States’ Section 2 and Section 7 attacks on Facebook’s acquisitions are barred by the doctrine of laches, which precludes relief for those who sleep on their rights."

4. "Second, the States’ Section 2 challenge to Facebook’s policy of preventing interoperability with competing apps fails to state a claim under current antitrust law, as there is nothing unlawful about having such a policy." I'll post both orders on timinhonolulu.com.
