People make mistakes. Seems to me Acton is trying to do everything he can to correct it.

  What he's been trying to do can also be interpreted as spending a few tens of millions here and there to generate PR with the goal of whitewashing his treachery when he sold out his WhatsApp userbase to Zuck and the most privacy invasive company on the planet... I'm reminded of the old gag: Would you sleep with me for a million dollars? Yes, of course! Would you sleep with me for one dollar? What kind of woman do you think I am? We've already established that, now we're just haggling over the price. Acton already whored himself out to Zuck for $19billion. We've established what kind of person he is.

    That gag really shouldn't be used seriously. Doing something for instant riches is not the same as doing it for day job money.

      It makes sense morally speaking. Regardless of the price, someone who sins for money is a sinner.

        There is still a huge difference between a one-time thing and an everyday action.

    Treachery? What exactly did he owe you? Sell out, sure, but who did he betray?
