this is a big deal that could really sink FB if true.

People are flocking to instagram, I don't believe that FB is in danger here, maybe they need to pivot, but I doubt they sink.

Instagram is owned by Facebook. Acquisition was in 2012.

That was kind of the point of the parent post.

They should have used the sarcasm tag.

There wasn't any sarcasm. They were literally saying that "people are flocking to instagram" so they "don't believe that FB is in danger here."

Yes exactly, and by pivot I mean prioritize data collection from Instagram.

But it's not sarcasm. It's true. People are "leaving Facebook" for instagram without understanding that Facebook owns instagram.

fb owns insta
