Facebook also faces numerous lawsuits and regulatory inquiries related to its privacy practices, including ongoing investigations by the US Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, and two government agencies in New York.
WhatsApp co-founder “Brian Acton,” speaking at Stanford University, spoke extensively about Facebook since his departure. During his interaction with Stanford students, Acton discussed the reasons for selling WhatsApp to Facebook, and once again urged the audience to remove the app and their accounts from this social network.
Acton stated that Facebook is primarily focused on revenue rather than the privacy of its users. He also criticized Facebook for putting itself on par with Apple and Google, who moderately censor their app content because they believe these companies do not have the right to dictate the content we need.
Remember that Brian Acton has been heavily criticizing Facebook since his departure from the company in 2017. This is not the first public call from Brian to abandon the use of the world’s largest social network.
