Why it matters
In a landmark decision, Meta has won its antitrust case against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which sought to force the company to divest its popular platforms, WhatsApp and Instagram. The ruling is a significant victory for Meta, affirming its right to maintain ownership of these key assets that contribute substantially to its revenue and user engagement. The case has drawn considerable attention as it reflects ongoing tensions between large tech companies and regulatory bodies aiming to curb their market power. This outcome may set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future, impacting not only Meta but also other major players in the tech industry. The ruling is expected to bolster Meta's market position and could influence the direction of future antitrust regulations.
