Original: Who owns the media? (Updated) -Social Media Meta owns: Facebook Instagram WhatsApp Messenger Threads Oculus Meta AI Mark
A detailed list mapping which companies own the world's biggest media and social platforms has been circulated widely online, drawing tens of thousands of interactions. The list attributes Meta's holdings - including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads - to Mark Zuckerberg, noting he controls roughly 60.8% of the shareholder vote, and also lists Alphabet's ownership of Google, YouTube, Android and Gmail. Reaction has been sharp, with some amplifying the post and others criticizing its framing of ownership through executives' ethnic and religious identity.
Why now: Claims about concentrated control of media and tech platforms are a recurring flashpoint and the post's controversial framing is driving heavy engagement.
