The Meta monopoly trial raises the question of how important it is to use social media for connecting with friends and family.
Facebook became successful by focusing on connecting people with their friends, reaching 1 billion users without being acquired by a Big Tech company.
The FTC argues that Meta has taken advantage of Facebook's early popularity and has cornered the market on personal social networks by acquiring rivals.
The FTC states that competitors like Snapchat and MeWe are limited, and platforms like TikTok and YouTube are not interchangeable.
