In a conference call with analysts on Wednesday, Zuckerberg also reiterated his stand against data<\/a> localisation in countries with a weak rule of law, though he didn’t specifically name any.
“You should expect that we won’t store sensitive data<\/a> in countries where it might be improperly accessed because of weak rule of law or governments that can forcibly get access to your data,” he said. “Our stance on data localisation is a risk. That is, if we get blocked in a major country, that will hurt our community and our business.”
Zuckerberg said that he has been asked if the use of private social platforms such as WhatsApp<\/a> will replace the more public platforms — Facebook<\/a> and Instagram.
“As private platforms have grown, in some cases we’ve seen some cannibalisation of the more public platforms in countries like India, where WhatsApp is very popular,” Zuckerberg said. But as the broader pattern across the world shows that people want to use both private and public platforms, “I believe building out this private social platform is a much greater opportunity than it is a risk,” he said while discussing the social giant’s financial results.
WhatsApp remains unprofitable five years after it was acquired by Facebook for $19 billion. While there is no official statement on the reach of the messaging app in India, industry estimates peg its user base at 400 million.
BIG OPPORTUNITY, SAYS ZUCKERBERG<\/strong>
“WhatsApp’s usage and engagement are phenomenal, but I don’t know how it can be monetised. Facebook isn’t as happening as it used to be, but it is still the largest social media network,” said Karthik Srinivasan, a communications consultant and former national lead (social) at Ogilvy.
According to market research portal Statista, Facebook had about 300 million users in India as of January this year, making it the company’s largest market. The number of users stood at about 250 million at the end of 2017.
Zuckerberg said while so-called digital town squares such as Facebook and Instagram will always be important, “over time there’s an even bigger opportunity with the digital living room to build a platform focused on privacy”.
“I think we should focus our efforts on building this privacy-focused platform,” he told analysts.
Currently, Facebook’s News Feed brings in the bulk of the social network’s revenue.
Digital industry analysts are of the view that WhatsApp’s popularity in India lies with people, who are coming online for the first time in smaller towns as well as its usability even in regions with low internet bandwidth.
“Indians have really taken to WhatsApp with free messaging, the ability to easily share videos and photographs, and a lighter application that works in low-bandwidth areas,” said Sanchit Vir Gogia, founder of Greyhound Research.
Facebook, on the other hand, is a heavy application and “has the nuisance of advertisements, and you can’t even decide whose updates you want to see”, Gogia said.
The California-based company has seen profit drop by more than half, to $2.43 billion, in the first quarter of 2019 as the one-time reserve of $3 billion for an expected fine by US regulators wiped out most of its income. It posted $15.08 billion in revenue, up 26% from $11.97 billion in the year-earlier period.

周三在与分析师的电话会议上,扎克伯格也重申了他的反对数据本地化与薄弱的法治国家,尽管他没有特别的名字。
“你应该认为我们不会存储敏感数据的国家,这可能是不当访问,因为法治薄弱或政府强行可以访问您的数据,”他说。“我们的立场数据本地化是一个风险。也就是说,如果我们被封锁在一个主要国家,会损害我们的社区和我们的业务。”
扎克伯格说,他一直问等私人社交平台的使用WhatsApp将取代更多的公共平台-脸谱网和Instagram。
“私人平台发展,在某些情况下,我们看到更多的公共平台的一些同类相食在印度这样的国家,WhatsApp很受欢迎,”扎克伯格说。但随着世界各地广泛的模式表明,人们想利用私人部门和公共平台,“我相信构建这个私人社交平台是一个更大的机会比一个风险,”他说,在讨论社会巨大的财务结果。
WhatsApp仍无利可图5年之后它被Facebook以190亿美元的价格收购。虽然没有官方声明的消息传递应用程序在印度,4亿年行业估计其用户群。
巨大的机会,扎克伯格说
“WhatsApp使用和接触是惊人的,但我不知道如何可以兑现。Facebook并不是像以前发生的,但它仍然是最大的社交媒体网络,“Karthik Srinivasan说通信顾问和前国家领导在奥美(社会)。
根据市场研究门户Statista, Facebook在印度约有3亿用户,今年1月,该公司最大的市场。站在约2.5亿的用户数在2017年底。
扎克伯格说,Facebook等所谓的数字城市广场和Instagram永远是重要的,“随着时间的推移,有一个更大的机会与数字客厅来构建一个平台关注隐私”。
“我认为我们应该集中我们的努力建设这个平台shadow,”他告诉分析师。
目前,Facebook的新闻Feed带来大量乐动扑克的社交网络的收入。
数码行业分析师认为,WhatsApp在印度的流行在于人,第一次在网上来小城镇以及即使在因特网带宽较低的地区,其可用性。
“印度人真的采取WhatsApp提供免费信息,可以轻松分享视频和照片,和一个轻应用,可以在低带宽的地区,“说Sanchit梵Gogia,灰狗研究的创始人。
Facebook,另一方面,是一个沉重的应用程序,“讨厌的广告,你甚至不能决定你希望看到的更新”,Gogia说。
这家位于加利福尼亚的公司利润下降了一半以上,至24.3亿美元,在2019年第一季度30亿美元的一次性储备的预期好,美国监管机构消灭它的大部分收入。它公布了150.8亿美元的收入,较上年同期的119.7亿美元增长了26%。
