Thinking of creating another Facebook or its rival? Facebook will never let it happen. Crafty-tactics will stop you. Buy the money with a lump, or you will be duplicate. What can you do?
Hold on for WhatsApp. Whatsapp is the most popular messaging app. In 2009, WhatsApp was launched by John Coom and Brian Acton. There were all the opportunities to move forward in the message exchange of Facebook. But in 2014, Facebook acquires WhatsApp for $ 1.9 billion. In just four years, Facebook has heard of the tunes of WhatsApp with WhatsApp. The BBC says its own CEO Jane Koum is about to move out of WhatsApp founded by him. He announced on Facebook. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised Kame in a comment there. Well, this is an entrepreneur's departure! However, Facebook has left WhatsApp under another co-founder Acton. Now they are campaigning against anti-Facebook.

This is the picture of company going under Facebook; But what are the steps behind this? According to Navin Salvaduri, co-founder of mobile location-based social networking website, Facebook, in 2010, it was possible for social media entrepreneurship, such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook to match the path. But Facebook's plan was different. In that year, Facebook introduced a feature called 'Check In' so that it could be identified in any place. This was the main feature of the Foursquare app, which directly imitated Facebook.

What were the entrepreneurs to do? In response to this, Salvaduri wrote an alliance against Facebook. He discussed the path of survival with Paths, Instagram, twitter friends. These initiatives were directly under threat of Facebook. The main features of these initiatives were the fake threat to come to Facebook.
Salvaduri said, 'It is very common knowledge. Facebook used to say to any organization that join us, otherwise we would give you a copy.
According to Salvaduri, instead of open internet, Facebook has developed a walled garden. Those whom they did not like would have harmed them. They could reach out to millions of people - they had to do things themselves. Salvaduri and anti-Facebook allies were trying to stand against the organizers.
Recently, snapchat has been the victim of fake Facebook fraud. Snapchat Stories feature can be an example. Zuckerberg tried to bring Snapchat back to life for a long time. Facebook wanted to buy Snapdeal with $ 300 million in 2013 But Mark Zuckerberg did not agree to sell himself to Snapechat's founder and CEO Ivan Spiegel. Rather than competing with all the features, Facebook picks up Then it started to duplicate the various things in the snapchat.

A report by Wired Magazine said that the anti-Facebook coalition could not move too far. In 2012, Facebook bought Instagram for US $ 100 million only. Later, Tumblr bought Tumblr for $ 110 million a year. The popularity of the path is collapsed and later sold out. While Forsakke is independent, its app is going ahead in some way with new plans.
In 2012, Salvaduri released Forskaya. He tells about the reasons behind the collapse of his organization. According to him, people were not hesitated to tell their position before. It was enjoyable to create various internet products. But now it has become difficult. Because now big players are now bigger.
Of course, Facebook is facing a lot of storm now. Especially after the Cambridge Analytics scandal. Social media co-workers are not relieved about the increase in the number of Facebook around the world. Mark Zuckerberg expressed regret over the scandal related to the use of Facebook data by Cambridge Analyst.
Cambridge University, working for Donald Trump's camp in the US presidential election, got the chance to enter the database of Facebook users and their friends. Facebook authorities say, they misinterpreted their misunderstanding in the name of research. They claimed that these data will be used only for research. It had information about people's name, location, gender, their likes and dislikes. This incident has become known as the Cambridge Analyst Scandal.
After this incident, there has been a storm of criticism against Facebook on privacy issues. Europe and the US regulatory bodies think Facebook has become very big and powerful. The biggest thing is that the 'confidence crisis' has been created in the minds of the users. There are various media reports on Facebook that their content is not being shown properly. However, Silicon Valley organizers make the biggest allegation. They are complaining that Facebook's aggressive plans are hindering innovation.
Hello @ishrat this for sure is a extremely good written story, thank you so far for this informative article.
I will look forward to read more such good content from you, thank you again.
But moreover
@steemitboard, @theaustrianguy, @whalesteem, @steemchiller (and all the others which I forget to paste in) what is the conclusion from all that, is possibly STEEEMIT another potential candidate for a unfriendly takeover by FACEBOOK or one of it´s subsidiary’s ?
And to be honest if so what the hell will stand against this possible offering of a huge amount of USD (or whatever) to the founders of STEEMIT ?
Will they stand strong and go on in their own manner without accepting this possible generous offer of FACEBOOK and seek for the same success as FACEBOOK whit their own and the power of their community?
I hope they don’t has to take such a decision soon, so there is some time before to think about such possible circumstances and to be prepared for them.
With sunny greetings from Andalusia
