It’s a combination of neutralizing a competitor and improving Facebook, Zuckerberg said in a reply. “There are network effect around social products and a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different.”
Zuckerberg continued: “One way of looking at this is that what we’re really buying is time. Even if some new competitors springs up, buying Instagram, Path, Foursquare, etc now will give us a year or more to integrate their dynamics before anyone can get close to their scale again. Within that time, if we incorporate the social mechanics they were using, those new products won’t get much traction since we’ll already have their mechanics deployed at scale.”
The emails between Zuckerberg and Ebersman were revealed today during the House antitrust subcommittee’s hearing on antitrust issues in tech, as Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) questioned Zuckerberg about the Instagram acquisition. The emails, along with several other messages and documents from 2012, show that Facebook — and Zuckerberg, in particular — wanted to buy Instagram to avoid competition, the committee argued.https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/29/21345723/facebook-instagram-documents-emails-mark-zuckerberg-kevin-systrom-hearing
“Facebook, by its own admission … saw Instagram as a threat that could potentially siphon business away from Facebook,” Nadler said during the hearing on Wednesday. “So rather than compete with it, Facebook bought it. This is exactly the type of anti-competitive acquisition the antitrust laws were designed to prevent.”

Covid looking at that tweet.....
Eh, this recession shit is not simply a virus induced solely trump managed pothole. A catalyst, sure. Still, the writing was on the wall years prior anyways. I was saying months ago, bUt tHe eCoNoMy - but it'd be way worse if it wasn't already being managed/directed/engineered. A lot of this is bipartisan and deliberate. Its not a freefall, its a legitimate restructuring effort of our economy at this point and that first bailout along with certain states essentially clearing space should've spelled that shit out clearly.

I've been to Lafayette, it's a nice small town with a bunch of boutique shops and then a giant freeway running next to it and a BART line. Where the freeway and BART station are? Literally empty desert with no housing, and these fucking fucks living there said no to an apartment complex on the BART line.
