Mark Zuckerberg was accused of making the growth of the co -founder of Instagram by the co -founder Kevin SYSTROM in a certificate that supports FTC’s disintegration state

Instagram co -founder Kevin Systrom witness against Meta Platforms Inc. FB CEO Mark ZuckerbergClaiming that the latter deliberately hindered Instagram growth. This certificate supports the continuous monopolistic experience, the US Federal Trade Committee, which may lead to dead disintegration.

What happenedSyster Meta was accused of not providing sufficient resources for Instagram after acquiring it in 2012, and thus reducing the potential of its growth, such as I mentioned By financial times. The FTC case claims that Meta deliberately reduced Instagram’s growth to prevent the “collapse of the network” on Facebook.

Systrom also stated that Zuckerberg’s imagination of Instagram as a threat to Facebook growth was a major factor behind the decision to withdraw many tools that Meta initially provides to help Instagram growth. He also claimed that Meta’s failure to provide employees needed for Instagram’s growth was “one of the reasons” he left in 2018.

Meta refuted these allegations, saying that “the documents are out of context and years on the acquisitions that have been reviewed by FTC more than a decade will not obscure the competition facts we face or overcome the weak FTC.”

Why do it matterThe trial continues, with the interrogation of Meta’s lawyer, on the pretext that the social media company helped increase the Instagram growth, which had only 13 employees and not revenues when obtaining it.

This trial follows a series of allegations against Mita. With the start of the trial, the previous FTC chair Lina Khan Deadly accused of using monopolistic energy to acquire smaller competitors such as Instagram and WhatsApp.

FTC also claimed that Meta used a “purchase or burial” strategy to fill social networks, with a highlight of Zuckerberg 2008 email, saying that “it is better to buy rather than compete.”

A lawsuit against FTC claims that Meta was illegally built “social media monopoly” through years of “anti -competition behavior”. If the government won the case, Meta can be forced to sell Instagram and WhatsApp.
