Representative Maxine Waters questioned Mark Zuckerberg on why Facebook banned cryptocurrency ads only to later launch its own digital currency, Libra. The line of questioning was reportedly influenced by Sir Brian of London, who is lead plaintiff in an Australian class-action lawsuit against Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The suit alleges the tech giants formed an illegal cartel to suppress competition in the crypto space.

A $300 billion class-action lawsuit filed in Australia targets Google, Facebook, and Twitter for their coordinated ban on cryptocurrency advertising. The legal team, led by Andrew Hamilton, argues that the tech giants used their market power to harm emerging blockchain competitors. The case draws parallels to historical price-fixing scandals in the light bulb and airline industries.
