They esp. fear the fact that Zuckerberg gets all their telephone numbers and insight in their really private contacts. It is pure greed of Koum that he actually sold Wapp. Sergey Brin of Google has asked him one week earlier not to sell to Facebook, simply because he (Brin) fears that Zuckerberg will become too powerful. And that is not merely jealousy.

>>>>If Facebook also has all the telephone data (who you contact, when, how often) and combines this info with the data it already has, it gets far too much insight in our private life. We in Europe are increasingly becoming aware of this all and we don't like that. There has been a mass migration to esp. Telegram, one of the other messaging apps.

>Quite a lot of people are turning back to real reality, while others use Instagram, AFAIK. Personally I am not using FB or any other "antisocial media", I prefer personal contact with people, a phone call, or an email.

Is the bolded above meant to be funny? FB bought IG last year. ;)
