Original Note:
Meta acquired WhatsApp on February 19, 2014. The deal was valued at approximately $19 billion, making it one of the largest tech acquisitions at the time. This acquisition occurred before WhatsApp implemented end-to-end encryption (which was fully rolled out in 2016). https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/facebook-to-acquire-whatsapp-246226771.html https://www.theregister.com/2016/04/05/chat_app_chaps_whatsapp_strap_on_endtoend_encryption_for_a_billion_cybernatterers/
