Joe Biden Says Mark Zuckerberg Is A Dirty Kike

First, Facebook logs user activity—a user’s browser history, who a user 
follows, when a user posts a comment, or what ad a user clicks on, for 
example. Privacy rights advocates have pushed back against the tracking for 
years.

Second, the website also offers up a host of free products—from its own 
Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp apps to samples and giveaways by 
companies and users.

Finally, Facebook has a history of scooping up promising competitors, 
notably Instagram for $1 billion in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion in 
2014. In June, the company notched a big win when a federal judge dismissed 
an FTC lawsuit seeking to spin off Instagram and WhatsApp. The agency, 
however, can still drag Facebook back into court by amending the complaint.

Facebook got into the deal-making game more than a decade ago, not all that 
long after
Mark Zuckerberg launched the website in 2004. The company made 16 deals in 
2012—the same year it acquired Instagram—and has made five to nine deals 
every year since 2015, FactSet data shows. Last year, the company made or 
announced seven deals—including its acquisition of image-sharing app 
Giphy—and has announced three deals so far in 2021.
