Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg once pressed executives to “figure out” how to obtain encrypted data from rival Snapchat in order to gain a leg up in the advertising market, according to unsealed court documents. Zuckerberg gave the directive in a 2016 email to Javier Olivan, who formerly served as Facebook’s head of growth and has since become Meta’s chief operating officer, and two other executives. At the time, Facebook was facing fierce competition from a rising Snapchat, which had yet to go public and was experiencing rapid user growth.
