Zuck on the stand: ‘Crazy,’ ‘scary’ ideas led him to buy Instagram and WhatsApp
It is very bad that there are no cameras permitted in federal court halls, because I really want to see Mark Zuckerberg witnessing.
The main witness in the lawsuit affiliated with the Federal Trade Committee against Mita, and this in itself was news.
The clash is the most severe attempt to cut the largest social network in the world, and goes to the heart of how to define competition.

Not since the government erupted more than four decades ago, Mega Corporation has faced the possibility of tearing it up.
The lawsuit was filed during the first Trump period (the president could not stand Facebook at the time), which Joe Biden followed strongly, and finally he came to trial in a courtroom in Washington.
Trump once told me that Facebook was so threatened by society that he used it as a justification to give up his effort to ban Tiktok.

But since his victory in a second term, Zouk, like many technology, has risen to a new Sharif in the city, including a million dollar donation to the opening of the president.
There are reports that when the man who manages Facebook recently met Trump, he asked about the possibility of dropping the lawsuit. It is clear that it did not succeed.
The concentration of the experiment is Zuckerberg’s decision to buy Instagram and WhatsApp when they were small startups.
Fact verification manager warns of “crisis
FTC’s main lawyer asked about Zuckerberg about a platform aimed at strengthening relations between family and friends with a focus on showing users the content of an interesting external entity by feeding his news.
“This happened with the passage of time,” Zuckerberg said.
Translation: Friends of Friends. 2010 very. We have moved.
Zuckerberg spoke slowly – at least according to the journalists who were there – and returned to the hot seat yesterday. FTC’s lawyers pressed him on a pile of emails he sent:
“We really need to collect our work quickly on this since Instagram grows very quickly.
“Instagram has become a great competitor and applicable on mobile phone images, which will be increasingly the future of the images.”

“If Instagram continues to kick the donkey on the pictures, or if Google purchases them, they can over the next few years add pieces of their service easily copy what we are doing now.” Which was floundering is called a Facebook camera.
In another message, Zach described the Instagram growth as “really scary”, saying, “We may want to think about paying a lot of money for this.” He bought Facebook Instagram for a billion dollars in 2012, and two years later they spent 19 billion dollars on WhatsApp.
In an email to Tom Alison, President of Facebook, Z presented alternatives:
“Option 1. Doubles friendship. One of the crazy ideas that are likely to be crazy is to think about wiping the graphs for all and starting them again.”
Alison replied: “I am not sure of the No. 1 option in your suggestion (double down on the girlfriend) will be applied because my understanding of how much the friend’s use is to use in IG.”
Meta Instagram bought for a billion dollars and WhatsApp for $ 19 billion before taking off. (Dead)
Now we got to the wonderful part.
It is not a breaking news that Mark’s rule can be defective. Remember when I insist that the virtual reality will be the next big thing?
But he argues that Meta has all kinds of competitors in the “Entertainment” area, such as X, Tiktok, YouTube – and could easily add Snap, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and HBO’s Max. The whole thing is about the battle for the eyes of the eyes now. There are only long hours a day. Mindshare is everything.

With group conversations in all anger, Meta does not work well on this type of reaction, with Instagram a possible exception.
Now, of course, he is in the self -esteem of Zuckerberg to testify that he is competing with anything that contains a screen. But it is not far from the mark. Keep in mind that Meta has 4 billion active monthly users.

I definitely hope that we will see the besieged CEO as he makes the case that he is steeped in a vast sea of competitors.
