I'm not sure if they are directly related, but either way, given that the twitter tax brakes were supposed to bring new life to mid market yet hardly did anything. Is this a way to reconcile the damage that came from those tax breaks?

It's unclear if instagram would even be nearly what it is today without facebook, my guess is that both snapchat and twitter would've filled all the holes facebook was able to fill with instagram.
