Amid the turmoil of the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton on Tuesday told his Twitter followers to delete Facebook.
“It is time. #deletefacebook,” he wrote on the social media platform.
Acton only has 42 Twitter followers, but it’s the sentiment that counts.
Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion in 2014. Acton remained with the company for several years, before quitting to start the Signal Foundation earlier this year. His WhatsApp co-founder, Jan Koum, still leads the company.
