Washington, D.C., April 3, 2025 – Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is lobbying President Donald Trump and senior officials to prevent an upcoming antitrust trial set for April 14. The FTC seeks to break up Meta’s acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram, arguing they were made to suppress competition.
Zuckerberg has visited the White House multiple times, drawing concerns over Meta’s lobbying efforts. While no settlement has been reached, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson remains firm on pursuing the case, which has been under investigation for years.
