Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sees a shift in social media usage towards discovering entertaining content and sharing in private messages rather than connecting with loved ones.
At the Federal Trade Commission's monopoly trial, Zuckerberg avoided criticism about Meta allegedly buying out rivals Instagram and WhatsApp to lock users into its family of apps.
Zuckerberg stated that people engage with social media less for personal connections, indicating a change in how users interact with online platforms.
Meta no longer aims to dominate the personal social networking market where it initially rose to prominence, according to Zuckerberg's testimony.
