Meta's purchase of Instagram was for over $1 billion; Instagram had only 14 employees at the time but a clear vision.
The acquisition carried risk because Instagram had a relatively short operating history.
WhatsApp was acquired for about $19b and served a different market, focused on mobile messaging and with strong usage in countries such as India.
Usage patterns vary by region; adoption among Americans is lower than in many other countries.
Meta pursued these acquisitions in part for brand presence and regional reach, which helped support its expansion.
Public figures, including Trump, have commented on large technology acquisitions.
Some analysts also highlight Google as another major company discussed in conversations about competition in tech markets.

I knew Mikey De Alwis, growing up, way before my dad died. And I remember, when. my dad was around, I went to his place at Flower Road, and played Halo, but lo and behold, this dude, showed me how to hack, or break the map boundaries, which to me, back then, was the coolest thing ever.
Later, we had Halo 3, to play, on my little birthday party. We played, High Ground, and I quickly went to grab some heavy weapons and killed him 2 to 0. I think Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher. But then, and this is the first time I played Halo 3. And first game, of the birthday party. This dude, found something new. A spartan laser, and I am guessing, he must've known it, or where it was. And he lasered me from across the map, like one shot. Unlike me, where only a sniper headshot works. And it frightened me, so badly, because I know, like Any%, this ██████, might have like dangerous tricks up his sleeve. And no chance with that spartan laser. So I quickly made up an excuse and ended the game immediately.
When the game ended, even though I ended it, the score read 2 -- 1.
And I reminded him, as I do now, that I won.

I was found, rushing to the middle of the map to grab the spartan laser.
