Www.sihai.com on September 27th, WhatsApp, founded in five years, may change its ownership. After the EU unconditionally approved Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp for $19 billion, Facebook will provide the founders and employees of WhatsApp with about $3 billion of restricted stock, which will be issued over four years. However, some users worry that Facebook will form a monopoly and raise the price after acquiring WhatsApp.
In February 2014, Facebook announced that it would buy WhatsApp, an instant messaging app, for $19 billion in cash and stock. That includes $4 billion in cash and $12 billion in Facebook stock. At present, WhatsApp has more than 450 million users, accounting for 70% of active users, and more than 1 million new registered users a day.
