This week, Mark Zuckerberg took the stand in an antitrust trial that could result in the breakup of Meta’s social networking empire. It might be years before the nearly 3 billion users of the company’s flagship app Facebook—known internally as the Blue app—learn the fate of the service they still use, despite the constant obituaries.

The Meta monopoly trial has raised a question that Meta hopes the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can't effectively answer: How important is it to use social media to connect with friends and family today? Connecting with friends was, of course, Facebook's primary use case as it became the rare social network to hit 1 billion users—not by being acquired by a Big Tech company but based on the strength of its clean interface and the network effects that kept users locked in simply because all the

In Meta’s antitrust trial on Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified that TikTok’s success was a risk to Meta’s business, saying the short-form video app was a “top priority” and a “highly urgent” competitive threat when it arrived in 2018, according to Bloomberg and other outlets. The reports come from a packed first week of testimony in the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s trial against the social networking giant.

Meta is back in court this week, and it's a throwback to the company's early days. This week CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in an antitrust case brought by the Federal Trade Commission concerning the company's 2012 and 2014 acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, respectively. In the 2010s, Facebook was a big player in social media, but it wasn't the tech empire that Meta is today. Part of what made the company such a powerhouse was its timely purchase of Instagram for $1 billion. But that may h

He also considered purging every friend from users' accounts in 2022 and having them start from scratch. Zuckerberg was on the witness stand on Monday to defend Meta against a case brought by the FTC in 2022.
