It's been days since Oculus was acquired, and weeks since WhatsApp. I don't think public perception has evened out enough to be measured, let alone predicted.

It's been days since Oculus was acquired, and weeks since WhatsApp. I don't think public perception has evened out enough to be measured, let alone predicted. Besides, look at Instagram. It was acquired right around the first major Facebook privacy scare (early 2012ish), and it's doing perfectly okay.
