Facebook officially owns WhatsApp, said a Monday filing to the SEC (http://1.usa.gov/Za1qeJ). The social networking company revealed its $19 billion purchase of the message app in February (http://bit.ly/1ilEw9w), and the deal has since cleared regulatory hurdles at the FTC and EU. WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum will join Facebook’s board, said the filing.
