\n Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will defend his company\u2019s ownership of Instagram and WhatsApp to congressional lawmakers Wednesday amid calls to break up the powerful platforms.<\/p>\n

In prepared testimony to the House Judiciary Committee\u2019s antitrust panel, Zuckerberg says Facebook has used its infrastructure to improve Instagram and WhatsApp in ways that benefitted users.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese benefits came about as a result of our acquisition of those companies, and would not have happened had we not made those acquisitions,\u201d says Zuckerberg\u2019s testimony, which NBC News<\/a> earlier reported. \u201c\u2026 The end result is better services that provide more value to people and advertisers, which is a core goal of Facebook\u2019s acquisition strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

For instance, he says, Facebook helped Instagram to control \u201crunaway spam\u201d and build the direct-messaging and video services that are key parts of the app today. Additionally, WhatsApp became free after its merger with Facebook and built voice and video-calling products on Facebook\u2019s technology<\/a>, according to Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

The billionaire social-media tycoon will deliver the testimony at a hotly anticipated congressional hearing examining the power of tech giants. Zuckerberg will appear along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Apple chief Tim Cook and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n

Some Washington lawmakers have questioned whether Facebook should control three of the world\u2019s biggest social media platforms over concerns about competition and privacy.<\/p>\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) cited Facebook as an example of a company that has used mergers to limit competition in her presidential campaign proposal to break up big tech companies. And Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pressed Zuckerberg in a meeting last year to sell Instagram and WhatsApp to prove Facebook\u2019s commitment to data privacy, the Associated Press reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zuckerberg reportedly told Facebook staffers last year that he would \u201cgo to the mat\u201d in a fight against Warren\u2019s breakup proposal.<\/p>\n

Facebook shares rose 0.8 percent in premarket trading to $231.97 as of 7:13 a.m. Wednesday after dropping 1.4 percent Tuesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
