Remember, when advertising is involved you the user are the product. […] When people ask us why we charge for WhatsApp, we say ‘Have you considered the alternative?'”

Brian Acton and Jan Koum, June 20121

“Facebook today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire WhatsApp, a rapidly growing cross-platform mobile messaging company, for a total of approximately $16 billion, including $4 billion in cash and approximately $12 billion worth of Facebook shares.”

Facebook Newsroom, February 20142

“[B]y coordinating more with Facebook, we’ll be able to do things like track basic metrics about how often people use our services and better fight spam on WhatsApp. And by connecting your phone number with Facebook’s systems, Facebook can offer better friend suggestions and show you more relevant ads if you have an account with them.”

Brian Acton and Jan Koum, August 2016
