Zuck ko laga tha Instagram bik jayega?
Aaj kal, FTC aur Facebook (ab Meta) ka bada antitrust case chal raha hai. FTC chahti hai ki Meta, Instagram aur WhatsApp ko alag kar de. Lekin, sunne mein aa raha hai ki Zuckerberg ko pehle se hi is baat ka darr tha!
Purana kissa, nayi tension
2018 mein, Zuckerberg soch rahe the ki Instagram ko alag company bana den. Unhe laga tha ki future mein antitrust issues aa sakte hain. Ek document mein likha hai, “Kya humein Instagram ko alag company banana chahie?”
Zuckerberg ne yeh bhi likha tha, “Agar hum chahein bhi toh shayad Instagram aur WhatsApp ko saath nahi rakh payenge. Ho sakta hai next Democratic president aisa karne ko bole.”
Unhone yeh bhi kaha, “Zyadatar companies break up ke baad better perform karti hain.”
Plan badla, tension badhi
Facebook ne Instagram ko alag nahi kiya. Ulta, unhone apne apps ko aur jod diya. Lekin, yeh baat toh pakki hai ki Zuckerberg ko antitrust issues ki chinta thi.
FTC ka vaar
2020 mein, Trump ke time mein, FTC ne Facebook pe case kar diya. FTC chahti hai ki Facebook, Instagram aur WhatsApp ko alag kar de. Unka kehna hai ki Facebook ne market mein apni power ka galat istemal kiya hai.
FCT ne 2008 ka Zuckerberg ka ek statement bhi use kiya, jismein unhone kaha tha, “Compete karne se better hai buy karna.”
Ab kya hoga?
Yeh toh waqt hi batayega ki is case ka kya anjaam hoga. Lekin, ek baat pakki hai, yeh case tech world ke liye bahut important hai. Isse pata chalega ki future mein tech companies kaise kaam karengi.
