Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also visited the White House multiple times in recent weeks.FTC spokesperson Joe Simonson said &#34;the Trump-Vance FTC could not be more ready for this trial&#34; and that its lawyers had been working around the clock to prepare.Meta Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Newstead called the case weak and a deterrent to tech investment.&#34;It&#39;s absurd that the FTC is trying to break up a great American company at the same time the Administration is trying to save Chinese-owned TikTok,&#34; she wrote in a blog post on Sunday.ZUCKERBERG EXPECTED TO TESTIFYZuckerberg is expected to take the stand and face questioning about emails in which he proposed acquiring photo-sharing app Instagram as a way to neutralize a potential Facebook competitor and expressed worry that encrypted messaging service WhatsApp could grow into a social network.Meta has argued in court papers that its purchases of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 have benefited users, and that Zuckerberg&#39;s past statements are no longer relevant amid competition from ByteDance&#39;s TikTok, Google&#39;s YouTube and Apple&#39;s AAPL.O messaging app.How users spend time on social media, and which services they consider interchangeable, will be core to the case. Meta will argue that an increase in traffic to Instagram and Facebook during TikTok&#39;s brief shutdown in the United States in January shows direct competition.The FTC claims Meta holds a monopoly on platforms used to share content with friends and family, where its main competitors in the United States are Snap&#39;s Snapchat SNAP.N and MeWe, a tiny privacy-focused social media app launched in 2016. Platforms where users broadcast content to strangers based on shared interests, such as X, TikTok, YouTube and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RDDT\">Reddit</a> RDDT.N, are not interchangeable, the FTC has argued.U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said in a ruling in November that the FTC &#34;faces hard questions about whether its claims can hold up in the crucible of trial.&#34;The trial could stretch into July. If the FTC wins, it would have to prove at a second trial that measures such as forcing Meta to sell Instagram or WhatsApp would restore competition.Losing Instagram in particular could prove catastrophic to Meta&#39;s bottom line.While Meta does not release app-specific revenue figures, advertising research firm Emarketer forecast in December that Instagram would generate $37.13 billion this year, a little over half of Meta&#39;s U.S. ad revenue.Instagram also generates more revenue per user than any other social platform, including Facebook, according to Emarketer.WhatsApp to date has contributed only a sliver to Meta&#39;s total revenue, but it is the company&#39;s biggest app in terms of daily users and ramping up efforts to earn money off tools like chatbots. Zuckerberg has said such &#34;business messaging&#34; services are likely to drive the company&#39;s next wave of growth.The case is one of five where the FTC and U.S. Department of Justice accuse Big Tech companies of maintaining illegal monopolies.Amazon AMZN.O, Apple and Alphabet&#39;s GOOGL.O Google also face antitrust lawsuits.</body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Platforms where users broadcast content to strangers based on shared interests, such as X, TikTok, YouTube and Reddit RDDT.N, are not interchangeable, the FTC has argued.U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said in a ruling in November that the FTC \"faces hard questions about whether its claims can hold up in the crucible of trial.\"The trial could stretch into July. If the FTC wins, it would have to prove at a second trial that measures such as forcing Meta to sell Instagram or WhatsApp would restore competition.Losing Instagram in particular could prove catastrophic to Meta's bottom line.While Meta does not release app-specific revenue figures, advertising research firm Emarketer forecast in December that Instagram would generate $37.13 billion this year, a little over half of Meta's U.S. ad revenue.Instagram also generates more revenue per user than any other social platform, including Facebook, according to Emarketer.WhatsApp to date has contributed only a sliver to Meta's total revenue, but it is the company's biggest app in terms of daily users and ramping up efforts to earn money off tools like chatbots. Zuckerberg has said such \"business messaging\" services are likely to drive the company's next wave of growth.The case is one of five where the FTC and U.S. Department of Justice accuse Big Tech companies of maintaining illegal monopolies.Amazon AMZN.O, Apple and Alphabet's GOOGL.O Google also face antitrust lawsuits.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"META":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":422094608900296,"gmtCreate":1744071177110,"gmtModify":1744075640119,"author":{"id":"4205205730162912","authorId":"4205205730162912","name":"Mohamad Ben trump","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3b1c5afec74c587167c7a2e8d146ac95","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4205205730162912","authorIdStr":"4205205730162912"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lessen every one what kind of business and who are you talking have any one meet me or have we ever talk something not right I haven't shir apple with any one could please tell more why my phone in different locations&nbsp;","listText":"Lessen every one what kind of business and who are you talking have any one meet me or have we ever talk something not right I haven't shir apple with any one could please tell more why my phone in different locations&nbsp;","text":"Lessen every one what kind of business and who are you talking have any one meet me or have we ever talk something not right I haven't shir apple with any one could please tell more why my phone in different locations","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/422094608900296","repostId":"2525022636","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
