They say everyone gets their day in court. For Big Tech, it’s looking more like a reckoning. Kait from the Refresh reports on this weeks news.

This Week’s Breakdown:

  • Meta on trial — Zuck, Sandberg, and Mosseri take the stand as the FTC argues Meta bought Instagram to “neutralize” a competitor. Old emails. Big receipts.
  • Google found guilty — A federal judge rules Google’s ad tech stack (DFP + AdX) violated antitrust laws. Remedy phase is next… and yes, Chrome’s on the table.
  • The stakes? Massive. Think forced divestitures, self-preferencing bans, and a playbook rewrite for AdTech.
  • History rhymes — This is the biggest antitrust heat since Microsoft in ’98. But the market’s bigger, the stakes are higher, and the FTC isn’t backing down.
  • Future watch — If Google and Meta are Act I, who's Act II? OpenAI? Apple? The next decade’s already heating up.
  • Kait’s closing note? “Get a good lawyer.” (T. Swift said it best.)
