Why?
I am the expert

As an undergrad at UCLA [2010], I taught a ‘Sociology of Facebook and Online Social Networks‘ course which was about:
What is the sociology of Facebook, and how will it affect the future?
It seems I was quite good at predicting almost a decade ago that Facebook would take over the world.
Facebook owns what?
Facebook owns a lot. They just wrote in a blog post:
Our main services include the Facebook app, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, Workplace, Portal and Calibra.
