Whatsapp was not built by Facebook, it was purchased.
- ALittleLight 5y agoThe rest of the phrase is "bought, or maintained." Built refers to Facebook, bought to Instagram and WhatsApp, and maintained to all three.
- system2 5y agoDoes it matter? It is an app built by a dude. Facebook found value in it and invested. They can shut it down completely and no one has any right to stop them from doing it.
- paganel 5y agoWhen you spend 16 billion on an acquisition is not just an app "built by a dude" anymore. To say nothing of the fact that even at that point Whatsapp was more used than FB's messenger tool (still is, I bet). > and no one has any right to stop them from doing it. FB can of course do whatever it wants to do. The powers that be can also do whatever they want to FB.
