WhatsApp co-founder asks users to delete Facebook amid public outrage over data misuse

Brian Acton, a co-founder of WhatsApp, which Facebook bought in 2014, on Tuesday (March 20) urged people to delete their accounts on the giant social network, USA Today reported. "It's time," tweeted Acton, who quit Facebook earlier this year to start a foundation. He added the hashtag #DeleteFacebook.

In all endeavors, I work to be in solidarity and love with all beings, and to use my privilege in service of a just transition to an equitable ecological society.
