Das Gericht hat dieses Urteil auch so begründet, dass, als TikTok für einen Tag "verboten", also offline war, die Nutzung von Facebook und Instagram anstieg - Meta also kein Monopol sei. Wer hätte gedacht, dass ausgerechnet TikTok Meta irgendwann den Arsch rettet?

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

NEW: Meta won its FTC antitrust trial. The judge found that the company did not violate antitrust laws in its purchases of WhatsApp and Instagram.
That means Meta WILL NOT be broken up. It was always a long shot for that to happen, but crisis averted.

Karsten Wildberger keeps talking about *tomorrow's* deregulation announcement and saying we just need to build products.
But products are blocked by captured infrastructure — the problem of *today's* #DigitalSovereignty summit. Deregulation is in no position to have any impact on this whatsoever.
