FB did do a lot IMO. They got into IM, into VR and really brought it to the mainstream. Other parties did too but FB really put in the investment to put it on the map. I don't like FB as a company because of their privacy attitude. But I don't think they did anything wrong business-wise. Just morally.

IM is not a business for them but another data source for FB. The costs for running WhatsApp must be astronomical yet it is a free service. VR may become the entertainment platform but maybe it doesn’t. AR has a much wider application and is actually needed. It will allow our connected computers to see and hear what we perceive allowing for a much more direct input. I can’t wait for true personal assistants accompanying one throughout life. This data gathering may allow a machine to get to know us and finally even upload us for extended after life. That’s philosophy difference Zuckerberg mentioned. FB just came up with another way to sell ads.
