Meta Faces Potential Forceful Sale of Instagram and WhatsApp as Antitrust Case Begins

The future of Meta’s popular social media platforms Instagram and WhatsApp hangs in the balance as a major antitrust case against the company kicks off. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed charges alleging that Meta acquired both platforms to eliminate competition, consolidating its dominance within the social media sphere. If the FTC prevails, Meta may be compelled to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp, which were purchased in 2012 and 2014 respectively, marking a significant shift in the social media landscape.
