Mark Zuckerberg predicted Meta's antitrust trial in a 2018 email
'There is a non-trivial chance that we will be forced to spin out Instagram and perhaps WhatsApp,' the Meta CEO wrote.
In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg floated the idea of spinning out Instagram, one of the remedies the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will likely seek in Meta's antitrust trial that began this week. "As calls to break up the big tech companies grow, there is a non-trivial chance that we will be forced to spin out Instagram and perhaps WhatsApp in the next 5-10 years anyway." Other details that came to light on Tuesday include a 2013 email in which Zuckerberg told executives to block Asian competitors Kakao and WeChat from advertising on Facebook.
