Zuckerberg may lose Instagram and WhatsApp

Business

A trial is underway in the US that could change the digital landscape - Meta, the corporation that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has come under the scrutiny of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Zuckerberg may lose Instagram and WhatsApp
The essence of the charges is the abuse of monopoly position. According to the anti-monopoly authorities, the acquisition of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 allowed Meta to eliminate competition and effectively become a digital monopolist.

If the court sided with the FTC, the company could be forced to sell two of the largest apps used daily by billions of people worldwide.

Meta representatives have already stated their confidence in victory, and experts emphasize that the merger has given Instagram and WhatsApp technological advantages. However, the outcome of this case could be a turning point for the entire industry.
