Serious allegations against Facebook in South Africa

• Facebook has engaged in anti-competitive and predatory conduct in South Africa, according to allegations by fintech company Araxi Holdings.
• The allegations stem from Meta's threats to remove GovChat, a WhatsApp-based communication platform, from its platform in 2021 due to alleged breaches of its terms of service.
• The Competition Commission of South Africa has found that Meta abused its market dominance, and Araxi Holdings continues to pursue the matter in the Competition Tribunal.
