Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in an antitrust trial against the FTC, defending Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The government argues these acquisitions created a monopoly by eliminating competition, while Zuckerberg contends the social media market is broader than the government defines it, encompassing entertainment and information sharing beyond connecting friends and family. The trial, the FTC's first under the Trump administration, alleges Meta used a "buy-or-bury" strategy to stifle competition.
