WHATSAPP FOUNDER DECIDES TO LEAVE FACEBOOK


	According to new online sources today, one of the WhatsApp app developers Jan Koum has officially announced his departure from Facebook.	Initially after Facebook bought the WhatsApp app from its inventors Jan Koum and Brian Acton, the two continued to work on the app under Facebook, but by the beginning of this year one of the discoverers,

Brian Acton announced his resignation from Facebook, leaving his co-founder to continue working for Facebook, a few months later.
Commenting on a post he posted on Facebook, Jan Koum said it was a long time since he and Brian Acton discovered the program and since then he has been able to work with some of the people he is grateful to work with but now his time has come to part. with that software and doing other things that are peripheral to technology. Issues involved include Facebook's need for more user data linked to WhatsApp information despite purchasing app purchases including promises that "they will remain free and operate independently." Dwoskin reports that, during one of the changes to WhatsApp's terms of service, Facebook members wanted to create specific user profiles that could be accessed on platforms like Facebook and Instagram - and thus used "for ad-targeting or for Facebook data-mining. . "

For his part, Mark Zuckerberg wrote in response to the discoverer's post that he regrets losing someone as careful as Jan Koum and will continue to remember his close work and will continue to thank him for teaching him various things including defense and other matters, as well. mark wrote he will continue to work on those things and will continue to be the heart of the WhatsApp app. Author Elizabeth Dwoskin argues that the move came as a result of Koum's differences with "Facebook attempts to use [Whatsapp] data and undermine its encryption." The report describes how these issues came up gradually after Facebook's acquisition of a $ 16 billion encrypted messaging platform in 2014 and how they led Koum to inform Facebook's management of his departure. From the sound of things, this discrepancy started before the Cambridge Analytica data leak saga.
