메타, 사진검색 플랫폼 '기피' 매각… 3,400억원 손해

Facebook parent company MetaPlatform has sold Giphy, a stock image search platform, following a divestiture order from the UK's antitrust authority, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Shutterstock, an online stock image marketplace, announced that it is acquiring Giphy from Meta for $53 million. That's about $315 million less than the $415.8 million that Meta reportedly paid for Giphy in 2020, and the company said it expects to close all acquisition and sale talks within the next month.

페이스북 모회사 메타플랫폼이 영국 반독점 당국인 경쟁시장청(CMA)의 매각 명령에 따라 진·이미지 검색 플랫폼 '기피'(Giphy)를 매각했다. 온라인 스톡 이미지 마켓플레이스인 셔터스톡은 메타로부터 기피를 5천300만 달러에 인수한다고 발표했다. 이는 메타가 2020년 기피 인수 금액으로 알려진 3억1천500만 달러(약 4천158억원)보다 약 3천400억원 낮은 수준으로 내달 중 모든 인수 및 매각 협상이 종료될 것으로 전했다.
