WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter - They fall into the category of Data-Mining Companies.
They sell your personal information to MNCs and show you ads based as per your interests.
Facebook buying WhatsApp- With this master move, Mark proved he is very intelligent.
For instance- If you send a message to your friend in WhatsApp that you like the Nike Airmax shoes, and later open Facebook, you will see the ad of Nike Airmax at 30% discount.
Smart, right?
This is not illegal, you have accepted the clauses in the terms and conditions ( didn't care to read it, right? ).
There are also other ways by which WhatsApp makes money → subscriptions, payments from all app store ( Google, iTunes, etc. ), download fees ( iOS only ).
