It is time to delete FB: WhatsApp cofounder
NEW YORK: WhatsApp messaging service cofounder has urged users to “delete” Facebook amid a massive data harvesting scandal in which information of 50 million people was leaked allegedly to influence the 2016 US presidential election. WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton left Facebook in September last year and joined a foundation. “It is time. #deletefacebook,” CNN quoted Acton as saying. Acton co-founded WhatsApp with Jan Koum which was acquired by Facebook in February, 2014 for $19 billion.
