7 Hours of Testimony: Zuckerberg’s Emails Reveal Meta’s $1 Billion and $6 Billion Acquisition Strategies

In a significant antitrust trial, emails from Mark Zuckerberg have come under scrutiny. In 2012, Zuckerberg suggested acquiring Instagram for $1 billion to “neutralize a potential competitor.” Another email revealed that Meta considered purchasing Snapchat for $6 billion. These communications are central to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) case against Meta, alleging that the company’s strategy was to buy out rivals rather than compete. The FTC aims to demonstrate that Meta’s dominance today stems from these acquisitions, specifically the purchases of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. Zuckerberg is set to testify for up to seven hours, addressing these emails and other related evidence. The outcome of this trial could hinge on whether the FTC can prove that Meta’s market position was unattainable without these strategic acquisitions.
