Meta Platforms is cutting 11,000 jobs, marking its first major layoffs as the company faces a 3.7% decrease in advertisement revenues, largely due to geopolitical tensions. Despite dominating India's media landscape and generating 99% of its revenues from its apps, the company’s aggressive push into AI and machine learning as part of its metaverse strategy may not counteract its current market struggles. These layoffs and a blunted growth strategy reflect Meta’s ongoing battle with regulatory scrutiny and a shifting digital advertising environment.
