The ongoing antitrust trial against Meta has unveiled revealing internal communications regarding the company's acquisition of Instagram. The U.S. government argues that Meta violated competition laws by purchasing Instagram and WhatsApp to maintain its monopoly. Internal emails from Facebook executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, highlight their fears about Instagram's rapid user growth, prompting discussions on whether to acquire the app or replicate its features. The court proceedings could lead to Meta being compelled to divest its Instagram and WhatsApp businesses, reshaping the social media landscape significantly.
