Zuckerberg’s settlement effort came just ahead of the April 14 trial that could result in Meta being forced to unwind its high-profile acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC alleges those deals were made to stifle competition and maintain Meta’s dominance in social media.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently made a last-minute attempt to avoid a major antitrust trial by offering to settle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for USD 450 million—a proposal that fell far short of the agency’s demand of USD 30 billion and was ultimately rejected. Zuckerberg’s testimony comes as Meta defends itself over statements flagged in Facebook’s own documents, like a 2008 email in which he said “it is better to buy than compete.” Do you think that the anti-trust trial is fair?
