The unprecedented coalition of 67 media companies representing 200 publications marks the largest unified legal challenge to Meta's advertising infrastructure, potentially threatening the foundation of its targeted advertising system.

📰 What Happened
France's antitrust authority has issued a statement of objections against Meta Platforms Inc. for alleged competition law violations in online advertising. The complaint focuses on Meta's restrictive access to ad verification partnerships and unfair terms. Additionally, 67 French media companies representing 200 publications filed a lawsuit in Paris, claiming Meta's market dominance stems from illegal data collection and targeted advertising practices. A separate €551 million complaint awaits trial in Spain this October.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of 67 media entities against Meta's advertising system parallels Revelation's warning about centralized economic control. Meta's alleged 'opaque and discriminatory' terms for ad partnerships echo Daniel 7's description of a power that 'changes times and laws.' The €551 million Spanish case, combined with French action, shows unprecedented coordination among national authorities to challenge digital economic control systems. This multi-jurisdictional resistance to Meta's advertising dominance signals the emerging tension between centralized digital commerce systems and traditional business structures.
