Good for them, thank you! The sooner facebook is controlled and broken up into pieces, the better. They are a massive net negative on civilization. Do you work at Facebook? Shame on you.

(as if what you describe would even be a valid excuse)

$200 billion, and a review in 12 months time?
That's 5 years revenue. $100 per user, sounds reasonable. Facebook can put in an easy "claim your $100" button on their site. Would that just be a "cost of doing business"?

I totally get this POV. But honestly, if you work at FB, you definitely have options. So no, this POV does not really apply to people at FB.
And it’s not just engineers. Cleaners, cooks, maintenance people.

How do you force a split when one part (Whatsapp) may not have enough revenue to sustain itself?

Checking out your competition is pretty standard among all businesses, as is buying out the ones you can't beat.

Sharing or not sharing data with another app is likewise not an unusual decision. FB is not a public utility - they can not work with other apps for any reason, or no reason at all. And this is a particularly ironic thing to point out, considering that the main thrust is complaining that they _did_ share data with other apps. So it's bad if they do share data, but also bad if they don't?
