Not a fan of Meta and I don't have IG, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.

However, even in 2012 or so when these acquisitions happened, Snapchat was a much bigger thing. And for me, Reddit was a much bigger thing than FB.

I think amongst the antitrust trials, this one is the weakest.

Fair take, but I think the key distinction is why Instagram and WhatsApp were targeted specifically
