Summary

Buzz60Facebook is moving closer to combining Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp, according to a lengthy announcement from CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday.The goal of the multiyear plan is to make the social networking site more connected and "privacy-focused," according to Zuckerberg.Under the new infrastructure, the three applications would remain distinct while allowing users to chat with one another, regardless of their platform.Zuckerberg said in a blog post that he believes that private, encrypted communication will be the most popular way that people interact in the future.“As I think about the future of the internet, I believe a privacy-focused communications platform will become even more important than today’s open platforms,” Zuckerberg wrote. So, we are pleased to see the announcement," said Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, known as EPIC.In January, a coalition of advocacy groups sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking regulators to "unwind the acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram." Unraveling the social media sites would "restore competition and innovation for Internet messaging and photo app services," according to the coalition.The FTC is currently investigating Facebook for allegedly violating an agreement it had with the U.S. government to keep its users' data private.Read the entire Facebook blog post here.What do you think about the future of Facebook?
