Meta Faces Potential Breakup With Start of Antitrust Trial

The US FTC is suing Meta, seeking to break it up for allegedly monopolizing social media through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The trial, which began Monday, focuses on whether Meta's purchases stifled competition and if it dominates the "personal social networking services" market. Meta will defend against these claims, with testimony expected from CEO Mark Zuckerberg and others.
