Zuckerberg's Testimony: Smoking Gun in Meta Antitrust Case

The FTC's antitrust trial against Meta is underway, and Mark Zuckerberg's testimony has emerged as a pivotal moment. Prosecutors used Zuckerberg's own internal emails as damning evidence, revealing his admission that the acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were intended to eliminate competition. Emails show Zuckerberg was aware of potential antitrust violations yet proceeded with the acquisitions, subsequently implementing strategies to restrict Instagram's growth and increase ad load. While Meta argues it's not a monopoly, Zuckerberg's testimony strongly supports the prosecution's case of anti-competitive behavior, significantly strengthening their position.
