Chapter 339

Where is the U.S. Congress? It is definitely the place where the United States and even the world can best represent power.

In the United States, where the three powers are separated, the White House and the Supreme Court, where the Congress and the president are located, are listed as the top three power institutions of the United States. As the only superpower in the world, the United States is stirring the world with its every move!

Without exception, the news that Mark Zuckerberg will attend the congressional hearing has once again made headlines in the world's top media. Media reporters around the world also seemed to smell the most delicious news in the world and set off for the United States.

At this time, Fang Zhe, who learned the news, sat in his chair for a long time.

Fang zhe thought that Facebook had experienced several data and privacy crises in the previous life. The craziest and most serious one occurred in 2018, when more than 50 million user data were leaked. At that time, Mark Zuckerberg had to go to Congress to accept the questions of members of Congress!

Fang zhe did not expect that in 2010, such things would happen to Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.

It seems that the crisis caused by the data leakage of more than 30 million Facebook users may be more serious than he expected and imagined. At the same time, Fang zhe has to admire the main player of this action, MySpace, and the News Corporation behind it. They do have frightening energy!

You know, Fang Zhe and Huizhong almost didn't intervene in this action against Facebook, because although Huizhong is now a little famous in the world, Huizhong's main game business can hardly help in this action.

For wechat that can help, Fang zhe doesn't want this bowl of dirty water to touch wechat, because Fang zhe believes that this action, no matter how good and beautiful MySpace is, it is impossible to escape the investigation and eyes of regulatory authorities in various countries. With the investigation ability of the FBI, even the old yellow calendar happened decades ago, they can investigate it for you.

Therefore, in order to protect wechat, which is still weak, and prevent the regulatory authorities of various countries from disgusting, fearing or even taking action against it, no matter wechat or Huizhong behind wechat, there is basically no overt action. To say that Huizhong's only force is to inadvertently remind MySpace to start from the direction of data security and data privacy.

Mysapce and the News Corporation behind it have indeed lived up to Fang Zhe's expectations. When Facebook itself has many uncleanness and problems, it is a pile of black material to check almost casually.

Like the last time Huizhong's plagiarism public opinion war against Tencent, MySpace also used Yang Mou. Whether it's thousands of applications on Facebook that collect user data, or hundreds of companies around the world that resell Facebook data, it's all Facebook's own problems and problems. MySpace did it, It's just exposing the problems that Facebook has suppressed and ignored in the past!

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

Not to mention how Facebook will face many user lawsuits, compensation and lost public trust in the future, in the past two weeks since the outbreak of the Facebook crisis alone, more than 6 million users have deleted and cancelled their facebook accounts, including millions of fans on Facebook Like Taylor Swift, Top stars with great influence in the world!

On the contrary, in the past two weeks, the daily number of new users of Myspace and Twitter has increased by 400% and 600%. These data are also dug out by reporters and exposed on the Internet when public opinion is in a uproar during this period.

Fang zhe knows that this should be inspired by the mysapce operation team and 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 unlisted Facebook in the capital market fell by 20% from about $30 billion before the crisis to less than $24 billion. With the continuous crisis of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg even had to attend an unprecedented congressional hearing, and the valuation of Facebook is still declining.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize Facebook's valuation before Facebook completely walks out of this crisis, recovers its public image and stops the loss of users from returning to the growth state, let alone re growth or even listing!

Fang zhe believes that the crisis facing Facebook will completely disrupt the original development plan of Facebook. It is almost impossible for Facebook to go public in 2012 with a valuation of more than 100 billion US dollars as in its previous life. Even, due to the existence and pressure of its competitor MySpace, Facebook is likely to fall down and finally repeat the old road of MySpace in its previous life, Completely on the decline or even disappear!

The direct beneficiary of this time, MySpace, although it won the war, but also because of its growth and struggle with Facebook at the same time, it is thankful that mysapce can reach half the volume of Facebook in the previous life.

Moreover, judging from the migration of lost Facebook users in this crisis, MySpace, also a social networking platform, has benefited a lot, but the security of the social platform has been questioned by many Internet users. Therefore, stars like Taylor swift and many members of the public did not go to mysapce, but went to twitter, which is more friendly to stars.

In addition, some of them have gradually started to get rid of computer social networks. Instead, because of the rise of smart phones, they began to be low headed netizens and migrated to wechat, a mobile social software rising all over the world!

According to the statistics of the wechat operation team, in the past two weeks since the outbreak of the crisis on Facebook, the number of daily new users of wechat in Europe, America and other developed countries has increased by more than 200%. The number of overseas users in non Chinese areas of wechat has reached more than 71 million. If the number of Chinese users of wechat is nearly 20 million, the total number of global users of wechat has exceeded 90 million, Step forward towards the 100 million mark!

Facebook, an elephant with nearly 500 million users, casually dropped a piece of meat from its body, which is enough to make the emerging wechat taste no small sweetness. MySpace eats meat, twitter drinks soup and wechat eats the bottom of the pot. This is probably the direct benefit of the Facebook crisis.

In the long run, the crisis of Facebook is bound to hurt the normal development curve of computer-based social network platform. It will not only miss the golden development period of social network, but also accelerate netizens to embrace the mobile Internet and wechat mobile social software faster!

At 2:00 p.m. on June 27, U.S. time, at the Capitol building in Washington, Mark Zuckerberg changed his old dress of gray T-shirt and blue jeans. Wearing a black suit and light blue tie, surrounded by a group of reporters and cameras, he tried to show his energetic appearance and slowly entered the Capitol hall!
