Facebook to buy messaging app WhatsApp for $19bn

Last week Facebook, the most important social networking service, grew up. It bought WhatsApp, it cost about 19.000 dollars and this decision was known around the world. 

WhatsApp  is also recognized as an important social networking, but it’s more used in Europe than in America, for example. And this was one of the reasons Facebook did the inversion, it’s because now more people around the world will use WhatsApp. It’s important to add that WhatsApp offers a free service avoing to pay fees, even though there is also some people who pay 1$ per year in order to use this service. 

On the other hand, the co-founder of WhatsApp will be member of Facebook’s group of directors. And they think that it’s not essential to make advertisements about text messing systems because it won’t be useful.


- MY OPION

About this news I have to say I’m really interested about it. Why? Well, mainly because I’m a user of WhatsApp and Facebook and I agree that as the time goes by Facebook is losing users and WhatsApp is being more used.

On one hand and in my opinion, years ago I used Facebook a lot and everybody did it, it was something really new that everyone was fascinated with. Now, it’s true there is a lot of people using it too, but this number of users has decreased. 

On the other hand I want to talk about something which is an important thing to consider because it could be prejudicial for a lot of people. I’m talking about the privacy, because it’s said that now, when WhatsApp has been bought by Facebook, there will be less privacy with the chats, and everything shared in the social media. So, be careful and informated about the privacy system.
