Facebook's hyper agressive growth strategy includes targeting fresh internet users in poor countries where most people access internet via mobile. They partner with local mobile operators to offer 'free unlimited data' for accessing Facebook and its ecosystem, while the rest of the internet is 'paid.' For most of the new internet users, Facebook is the internet. It's the most efficient data harvesting operation, maybe ever.

I do find it alarming. I was in Costa Rica last month and every billboard and advertisement locals would have their Whatsapp number as contact info No counter party risk there… nope

CR is 100% captured in that regard. I closed my fb over 10 years ago. Move to CR only to find merchants don't have web pages. All just FB. All communication is whatsapp
