祖克柏認了:買Instagram因相機更強!




Meta行政總裁朱克伯格承認收購Instagram因其相機功能優於Facebook

美國華盛頓消息——Meta行政總裁馬克·朱克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)在美國反壟斷審訊中作出關鍵承認,表示當年收購Instagram的原因之一,是因為Instagram的相機功能比當時Meta旗下主打應用Facebook所開發的更好。

這番表述似乎支持了美國反壟斷機構的指控,認為Meta採取「買斷或毀滅」策略,通過收購潛在競爭對手,壓制較小競爭者,從而維持非法壟斷地位。

朱克伯格在華盛頓進行的高調審訊中第二天作證時透露,當時Meta正在為Facebook打造一款相機應用,他們在「自行開發與收購」之間作出分析,認為Instagram的相機產品更優秀,因此決定收購Instagram。

他說:「我們當時正在做一個『自行開發還是收購』的分析,我認為Instagram的相機功能更好,所以覺得收購他們更合適。」

朱克伯格亦承認,Meta多次嘗試自行開發應用程式,但大部分都未能獲得市場認可。

開發新應用程式困難重重

朱克伯格向法庭坦言:「開發新應用程式非常困難,我們嘗試過很多次,但大多數都沒有取得太大成效。」

他補充:「公司歷年可能嘗試開發了數十款應用,但絕大部分都無法成功。」

朱克伯格的證詞是在Meta為自己辯護的背景下作出的。多年來,Facebook內部文件曾曝光多條不利Meta的言論,例如2008年他曾寫過電郵說「買下比競爭更好」。

Meta方面則辯稱,這些過去的意圖已不具參考價值,並質疑美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)對社交媒體市場的定義不準確,未能充分考慮到Meta面臨來自字節跳動旗下TikTok、谷歌YouTube及蘋果訊息應用等強勁競爭。

FTC指控Meta在分享內容的平台上壟斷市場,而在美國其主要競爭對手是Snapchat及一個2016年推出、主打私隱的細規模社交媒體MeWe。FTC強調,像X(前Twitter)、TikTok、YouTube和Reddit這類基於共同興趣向陌生人廣播內容的平台,與Meta的產品並不具可替代性。

評論與深度分析

朱克伯格坦承收購Instagram乃因其相機功能優於Facebook自家開發,這一點不僅顯示出Meta對自家創新能力的限制,也揭示了科技巨頭收購策略背後的現實考量。從這角度看,Meta的「買斷或毀滅」策略並非僅是為了壟斷市場,更是因應自身創新不足的無奈之舉。

同時,朱克伯格承認多款自家開發應用未能成功,反映出即使是資金充裕的科技巨頭,創新和產品開發依然充滿挑戰。這種情況下,通過收購快速成長且技術出眾的競爭對手,成為一條捷徑,卻也帶來壟斷風險。

FTC的指控及審訊,實際上是對大科技公司權力邊界的重新審視。Meta與其他平台的競爭關係複雜,尤其在用戶行為和內容分享模式上存在本質差異,FTC強調這些差異以限制Meta的壟斷定義,這種細緻劃分是否足夠全面,值得進一步討論。

最後,此案不僅是對Meta過去收購行為的審判,更是對整個科技行業監管政策的試金石。如何在鼓勵創新和防止壟斷之間取得平衡,將深刻影響未來科技生態的發展方向。對香港及全球用戶而言,這場審訊的結果亦將左右我們如何使用及信任這些數碼平台。

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. 咒語:
可爱夏日风格,3D卡通主题。俯视角度
垂直俯拍视角的鸟瞰图:矩形深水游泳池铺满整个画面,游泳池周围围了一圈马赛克瓷砖,蠟筆小新微笑和小白闭眼躺浮在水面上,泳池角落漂浮着一只黄色橡皮鸭玩具和一个彩色游泳圈。阳光照射在水面形成波光粼粼的折射效果,高饱和度色彩搭配,超高清分辨率,俯视视角展现完整泳池轮廓,水质清澈,可以看到游泳池底部的瓷砖。高清渲染材质,景深效果明显,画面通透富有层次感,画面色调整体为清新冷色调,8K高清。 Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a ultra-sharp studio portrait of a confident woman kneeling on the floor with her body slightly leaning back, her right hand gently touching her hair, and her left arm resting on her bent knee. She is dressed in a sleek, strapless black bodysuit that accentuates her figure, paired with elegant black patterned lace pantyhose that add texture and sophistication. She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background. Post-process minimally to enhance clarity, contrast, and natural skin tones, maintaining a polished, elegant, and modern aesthetic suitable for fashion or editorial photography.
