Facebook is the largest company that owns social media services, with somewhere over 3-4 billion people monthly using at least one of the platforms that Americans have created or bought. Among them is WhatsApp, a messaging application that was bought by Facebook for 19 billion dollars, but what it did with it after the acquisition upset its co-founders, who left very nervous in 2018.
Facebook is at the center of a new warning made by Brian Acton, one of the co-founders of WhatsApp, he continues to recommend people to delete their account from the social network as soon as possible. The warning is a reiteration of a message published by Action a few months ago, when he decided to leave Facebook to create the foundation that owns Signal, a messaging application that is completely encrypted.
Facebook: WARNING from the Co-Founder of WhatsApp
Facebook was left by both co-founders of WhatsApp because of the ideas the Americans had about the direction the platform should go, they wanted to implement ads everywhere. This strategy was absolutely not to the liking of the co-founders of WhatsApp, so they both left Facebook recommending people to give up the social network, and now they return with this important warning.
"At the time, there was pressure on Facebook. I was like, maybe it's time. But then I realized a fatal flaw in Facebook, that they don't have tombstones. When you're gone, you're gone. So I left my tombstone on Twitter. For me, it was much more public and visible."
In 2018, Facebook was repeatedly involved in extremely important scandals, with the data of hundreds of millions of people being accessed in an unauthorized manner by third parties and companies. Facebook has never bothered to respond to these accusations from the people it turned into billionaires, but that matters less because everyone knows that they are very right in everything they say.
Facebook is a company with many services that aren't quite what they should be, and that don't protect people's data, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to give up their services.
