Meta Platforms Inc. is facing a major antitrust lawsuit that could result in the company being broken up. The case, described by Slade Bond of Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca Public Policy as a pivotal moment for antitrust enforcement in the U.S. economy, has been years in the making. If ruled a monopoly, Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, could be divided to address concerns over its market dominance. The potential breakup is seen as part of a broader regulatory effort targeting large technology firms, with speculation that other giants like Alphabet (Google) may also face similar actions, particularly in the context of emerging technologies such as artificial general intelligence (AGI). This legal challenge highlights ongoing scrutiny of big tech companies and their influence on competition and innovation.
They’re gunna break up $GOOGL, $META and likely 1-2 other giants before artificial general intelligence arrives. I can see why. These titans vertically integrating AGI to their already-dominant businesses would decimate anyone competing with them. End of an era. https://t.co/pagSqXKy55
“This is a make-or-break case for antitrust for not just this market but for the US economy at large, it’s a big case that’s years in the making,” Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca Public Policy’s Slade Bond says on the antitrust lawsuit against $META. https://t.co/GMqK4btn1l
