New output on Facebook that says a lot about the problems the company is going through . Jan Koum , founder of the WhatsApp messagingapplication with Brian Acton, has seen how the management of user data is being questioned as being within the Facebook group, which would have caused Koum's departure from the company.
In a statement published on his profile of the social network, Koum explained that "one takes a free time" to do other things than technology, without mentioning another reason to justify his departure. In the publication, the co-founder of WhatsApp points out that he and Acton started this application almost a decade ago and that nowadays people use it "in more ways than they could have imagined"
WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook in 2014. Koum and Acton remained within the company , and their presence motivated the implementation of end-to-end encryption in 2016 , which prevents anyone from the conversation from accessing its content. However, as reported in 'The Washington Post', it seems that Facebook wants to reduce that encryption .
The aforementioned media indicates that Facebook has plans for WhatsApp, which would go to introduce advertising and also related to the management of user privacy, a reason that would have led Koum to leave the company . Acton, meanwhile, left the company in 2017, and after the Cambridge Analytica scandal , was one of the voices that urged Facebook users to delete their account in the social network.
At the moment, this scandal has not affected the group's accounts . The social network obtained in the first quarter of 2018 to net profit of 4,988 million dollars , 63% more than in the same stretch of the previous year, when it achieved 3,064 million.
