"There is very little chance that FB is required to be broken up, as we expect the FTC to lose the case."

"If the FTC is successful, Meta may be forced to divest two of its largest brands."

"If Meta is found guilty of violating antitrust laws, it could be forced to divest its subsidiaries or restructure the business."

The antitrust lawsuit against Facebook "could force it to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp."

"Meta could be forced to sell off IG and WhatsApp if the FTC wins the trial."

"Mark Zuckerberg might have to kiss Instagram and WhatsApp goodbye."

Will Meta Be Broken Up?

Meta announced Wednesday it will build its first Canadian data center in Sturgeon County, Alberta, representing a total investment of more than CA$13 billion — described by the provincial government as one of the largest private investments in Canada's history.

The 1-gigawatt facility, Meta's 33rd data center globally and its largest outside the United States, is expected to take two to three years to construct and will support more than 3,000 construction jobs at peak activity and over 300 permanent operational positions.

A separate 932-megawatt natural gas power plant, the Greenlight Electricity Centre in Sturgeon County, is being developed by Pembina Pipeline, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and Kineticor, and is expected to begin operating in the second half of 2030.

Alberta's provincial government anticipates collecting roughly $250 million annually in royalties, taxes, levies and fees tied to the project. Meta is also investing approximately CA$60 million in local infrastructure, including roads and water systems.

Meta said the data center will use a closed-loop, liquid-cooled system with dry cooling, meaning no operational water will be drawn from surrounding sources. The company aims to be water positive by 2030 and is partnering with ALUS to conserve 200 acres within the North Saskatchewan River watershed.

Meta said it will match the facility's electricity use with 100% clean and renewable energy and will fully fund new generation and grid infrastructure. Alberta's electricity grid is currently about 60% powered by natural gas, with an emissions intensity nearly five times the national average.
