WASHINGTON: Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on April 16 denied in court that his company bought rival services Instagram and WhatsApp to neutralise them, as his testimony in a landmark antitrust case came to a close.
The case could see the Facebook owner forced to divest itself of the two apps, which have grown into global powerhouses since their buyouts.
