Washington D.C., April 10, 2025 – Meta Platforms Inc. is heading to trial with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over alleged antitrust violations. The FTC claims Meta’s control over Instagram and WhatsApp harms competition and could seek a breakup of these key platforms. This high-profile case could reshape how regulators approach tech monopolies.
Meta has defended its past acquisitions as legal and argues that separating its platforms would disrupt user experience and harm businesses. The trial, expected to begin soon, is drawing global attention as a possible turning point in Big Tech regulation.
