Yeah, I'm developing a competitor. Guess what? We don't have zillions of dollars and if we don't answer the justice right, we bankrupt. Facebook don't. So yeah, it's part of the development of my product to stop the unfair benefits foreign technology companies have in my country.

EDIT: FB eavesdrop to US gov didn't stopped their growth. Actually, I would bet that it helped.

WhatsApp, before it was owned by Facebook, didn't have zillions of dollars, which was also when it exploded in Latin America.
