Because Facebook can’t just magically morph into whatever they want to.
They bought up Instagram when it was a threat to Facebook, but they can’t just buy up (and then go on to fuck up) TikTok or any other threat like some kind of shite Microsoft of the 80’s and 90’s.
Meta should be split up. At the very least, WhatsApp should be split off from Meta. All rules that FB agreed to follow when acquiring Whatsapp have been broken and shit on. This single company owns three of the top five largest messaging services in the world and collects and crossshares massive amounts of data from all three. Fuck Fakebook
Better basic features, better algorithm,and they pay more. This really isn't a hard question to answer.
