How does such a retroactive block work ? I imagine Meta executives have already taken over the reigns and directed the company towards full integration with facebooks other services. If Giphy had had a project in the works that could disrupt any of Facebooks monopolies than surely that project would be canceled by now and anyone involved would have transferred internally to the relevant Meta subgroup or left. So if blocking the deal results in Meta loosing control of Giphy but getting it’s money back, wouldn’t that be a great outcome for Meta as they would have achieved their main goal for free ?
