After a rough two years since its IPO, Snap's stock is up 183% this year, outperforming every member of the S&P 500.

Amazon's biggest shopping event is here, and now one-day shipping is the norm for tens of millions of items available on Prime Day.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday posted a 3,000-word note outlining a more "privacy-focused" future for the tech company, saying that communications platforms that protect privacy will "become even more important than today's open platforms."

Zuckerberg's new outline comes as Facebook builds out a new integrated messaging service that will allow users on Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp to communicate in private with each other.

The note detailed how Zuckerberg and his team are thinking about plans to integrate the messaging functions of the three main services. Zuckerberg said a lot of the work is still in its early stages, but he added that Facebook plans to consult with outside experts as it's built out.

"Today if you want to message people on Facebook you have to use Messenger, on Instagram you have to use Direct, and on WhatsApp you have to use WhatsApp," he wrote.

Facebook is looking to Stories on Instagram and the main app as another place for ads, so that strategy could eventually make its way to Messenger and WhatsApp.
