He did leave Facebook because of privacy issues right? That should be a good sign…

  I wouldn’t be so sure. He also benefitted greatly from selling it to Facebook in the first place, and stayed on for a few years.

    Everybody that joins Facebook thinks they can "fix" it, and many stick around trying to do so. Eventually they leave.

      The WhatsApp sale also happened back in 2014. I don't think FB was especially well liked at that time, but they didn't have as bad a reputation as they do now. 7-8 years is a long time.

        I remember WhatsApp touting the fact that they charge a $1/year subscription to be evidence that they will not sell out data about your use of the app and your contacts, presumably as a contrast to the chat apps offered by Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and others wanting to sling ads. Obviously, the offer from FB was worth selling out for.
