Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand

Mark Zuckerberg appeared in a Washington, DC courtroom to defend Meta against the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit, which aims to force the company to divest Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC argues that Meta holds a monopoly on personal social networking services, while Meta contends the market is broader. Zuckerberg’s testimony focused on Facebook’s history and its acquisitions, with the FTC presenting internal communications emphasizing the threat posed by Instagram to Facebook’s dominance.
