Chapter 340 WeChat Eating Pot Bottom

Where is the U.S. Congress, that is definitely the place where the U.S. and even the world can best represent power.

In the United States where the separation of powers is implemented, the Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court where the President is located, are listed as the three highest power institutions in the United States. As the only superpower in the world, the United States, its every move stirs the world!

Without exception, the news that Mark Zuckerberg will attend the Congressional hearing has once again made the headlines of the world's top media.Media reporters from all over the world, as if smelling the most delicious news in the world, set off for the United States.

At this time, at the headquarters of Yanjing Huizhong on the other side of the ocean, Fang Zhe, who heard the news, sat in a chair for a while in surprise.

Fang Zhe thought that Facebook had gone through several data and privacy crises in the previous life. The craziest and most serious one occurred in 2018. More than 50 million user data was leaked. At that time, Mark Zuckerberg had to Go to Congress to accept questions from members of Congress!

Fang Zhe didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg in his life in 2010.

It seems that the crisis caused by the data leakage of Facebook’s more than 30 million users is probably more serious than he expected and imagined. At the same time, Fang Zhe also had to admire the main player mypace and the news group behind it. Dreadful energy!

You know, Fang Zhe and Huizhong hardly interfered in this action against Facebook, because although Huizhong is now well-known in the world, Huizhong’s main game business is basically in this operation. Can't help much.

WeChat who can help, Fang Zhe didn’t want this bowl of dirty water to get on WeChat, because Fang Zhe believed that even if myspace did it well and beautifully, it was impossible to escape the investigation and eyes of the regulatory authorities of various countries. , With the FBI's investigative capabilities, even the old calendar that happened decades ago, they can investigate it for you.

Therefore, in order to protect WeChat, which is still weak, and prevent regulatory agencies from all over the world from disgusting, jealous or even taking actions, whether it is WeChat or Huizhong behind WeChat, there is basically no clear action. Huizhong’s only effort was to inadvertently remind myspace to start with data security and data privacy.

And mysapce and the news group behind it really did live up to Fang Zhe's expectations. In the case of Facebook itself with many uncleanness and problems, it was a pile of black material to check it almost randomly.

Like the last time Huizhong’s plagiarism and public opinion war against Tencent, myspace also used a positive strategy. Whether it was thousands of Facebook applications that collect user data, or hundreds of companies reselling Facebook data around the world, it was all Facebook. Myspace’s own faults and problems are just exposing the various problems that were suppressed and ignored by Facebook in the past!

Now, the crisis that Facebook is facing has really hurt Facebook's vitality as Fang Zhe thought.

Not to mention how Facebook will face many user lawsuits and compensations and the loss of public trust in the future. In the past two weeks since the outbreak of the Facebook crisis, more than 6 million users on Facebook have deleted and cancelled their Facebook accounts. Among them, there are many top stars who have millions of fans on Facebook like Taylor Swift and are quite influential in the world!

On the contrary, in the past two weeks, the number of daily new users of myspace and twitter has increased by as high as 400% and 600%. These data are also when public opinion is raging during this period. Dug out and exposed on the Internet.

Fang Zhe knew that behind this should be the instruction of the mysapce operation team and the twitter operation team. Their purpose is to express themselves and boost their valuation and influence!

Because of the outbreak of the Facebook data crisis, the valuation of Facebook, which has not yet been listed, in the capital market has fallen by 20% from about 30 billion US dollars before the crisis to less than 24 billion US dollars, and the crisis of Facebook continues one after another. Mark Zuckerberg even had to attend an unprecedented hearing in Congress, and Facebook's valuation is still falling.

I am afraid that before Facebook can completely get out of this crisis, restore its public image and curb the loss of users and return to growth, it will be difficult for Facebook to stabilize its valuation, let alone re-growth or even go public!

Fang Zhe believes that the crisis faced by Facebook will inevitably disrupt the original development plan of Facebook. It is almost impossible for Facebook to be listed in 2012 at a valuation of more than 100 billion US dollars. Even, because of the existence and suppression of the competitor MySpace, Facebook is likely to fail from then on, and finally repeat the old path of the previous MySpace, and completely decline or even disappear!

The direct beneficiary myspace this time, although it won the war, but also because of the simultaneous growth and struggle between it and facebook, it is a thank good thing that mysapce can reach half of the previous life facebook.

What's more, judging from the migration of Facebook's lost users in this crisis, myspace, which is also a social network platform, has benefited a lot, but the security of the social platform has been questioned by many netizens, so stars like Taylor Swift And many members of the public did not go to mysapce, but to twitter, which is more friendly to celebrities.

In addition, some of them have gradually started to get rid of computer social networks. Instead, because of the rise of smartphones, netizens who have begun to be the head-downers have migrated to the mobile social software WeChat, which has risen globally!

According to the statistics of the WeChat operation team, in the past two weeks since the outbreak of Facebook’s crisis, the number of daily new users of WeChat in developed countries such as Europe and the United States has increased by more than 200%. The number of overseas users of WeChat in non-Chinese regions has reached as high as More than 71 million, if we add WeChat’s nearly 20 million Chinese users, the total number of WeChat global users has exceeded 90 million, striding forward to the 100 million mark!

Facebook, the elephant with nearly 500 million users, can drop a piece of meat from its body, which is enough to make the emerging WeChat taste a lot of sweetness. Myspace eats meat, Twitter eats soup, WeChat eats the bottom of the pot, and this is probably it. During the Facebook crisis, Huizhong benefited directly.

In the long run, this crisis of Facebook will inevitably hurt the normal development curve of the computer-side social networking platform. Not only will it miss the golden development period of social networking, but it will also accelerate netizens to embrace the mobile Internet and WeChat faster. Mobile social software!

At two o'clock in the afternoon on June 27th, US time, at the Capitol in Washington, Mark Zuckerberg changed his old gray T-shirt and blue jeans dress, dressed in a black suit and light blue tie, in a group of reporters and cameras Surrounded by, he tried his best to show a spirited look, and slowly entered the Congress Hall!
