Meta Concludes Antitrust Trial with FTC, Challenges Instagram Co-Founder’s Claims

Meta wrapped up its defense in the high-stakes antitrust trial against the Federal Trade Commission, challenging assertions by Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom. The six-week proceedings, presided over by Judge Boasberg, saw Meta recall key witnesses for cross-examination, aiming to debunk claims that Instagram WOULD have thrived independently.

The company argued that without its support, Instagram and WhatsApp might have struggled to survive—a counterpoint to the FTC’s narrative of anti-competitive behavior. The trial now moves to closing arguments, with Meta’s fate in the balance.
