   "Furthermore, the company has a lot of monetisation opportunities with Instagram (thanks to the recent launch of IGTV), Marketplace, Messenger and getting businesses to pay to interact with customers through WhatsApp".

   Wait, what now? I already refuse to use WhatsApp, but this business <> customer interaction is news to me, and it smells fishy....

      I mean, I hope I'm overreacting. I hope this means "users can see that a business has WhatsApp via its website or similar, and *choose* to interact with the business that way". And I'm sure that is a part of the offering for businesses.

      But I doubt that's the whole of it...
