In this article I’m going to share a most important topic “delete Facebook” by what’s app founder. Why he twitted that hash tag.
Had anyone thing about how Facebook earns money? How come Mark Zuckerberg became one of the world richest people at the age of 34? This question strikes me when I start using fb. Mark earns money by sending our personal information to advertisements.
Have anyone noticed, if you search a thing in amazon or other online sites you will get related things in newsfeed. I want to share my experience. I don’t know if you notice that. When you go to a new place you will get some cab ad in fb newsfeed. One day when I reach Bangalore I get ola cab ad with 50% offer. I’m really amazed how come they got my location? Its fb that share my information. Then I came to a conclusion that fb and Mark earn money by sharing its user’s personal information.
Just remember one thing “nothing is free in this world if it is free then you are the cost”.
In 2014, Facebook bought What 'Sapp for $16 billion, making its co-founders — Jan Koum and Brian Acton — very wealthy men. Koum continues to lead the company, but Acton quit earlier this year to start his own foundation. And he isn’t done merely with WhatsApp — in a post on Twitter today, Acton told his followers to delete Facebook.
“It is time,” Acton wrote, adding the hash tag #deletefacebook. Acton, who is worth $6.5 billion, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. What' Sapp declined to comment.
It was unclear whether Acton’s feelings about Facebook extend to his own app. But last month, Acton invested $50 million into Signal, an independent alternative to WhatsApp.
The tweet came after a bruising five-day period for Facebook that has seen regulators swarm and its stock price plunge following concerns over data privacy in the wake of revelations about Cambridge Analytica’s misuse of user data.
Acton is not the first former Facebook executive to express unease about the company after leaving it. Last year, former head of growth Chamath Palihapitiya caused a firestorm after saying “we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works.” Other former executives to express regrets include Sean Parker, Justin Rosenstein, and investor Roger McNamee.
Zuck did, however, have time to “like” a picture posted by the Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek, and a status update by an early investor Don Graham, the Huffington Post reported.
“Mark, Sheryl and their teams are working around the clock to get all the facts and take the appropriate action moving forward, because they understand the seriousness of this issue,” said a Facebook spokeswoman. “The entire company is outraged we were deceived. We are committed to vigorously enforcing our policies to protect people’s information and will take whatever steps are required to see that this happens.”
Last year, Facebook’s first president Sean Parker and former executive Chamath Palihapitiya both expressed serious misgivings about Facebook and how it messes with people’s psychological and social structures. Additionally, since the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal was revealed, Facebook’s stocked has dropped by more than seven percent.
But will this be enough to serious injure or take down Facebook’s massive online empire? Who knows, it’s still too early to tell.
Facebook offers users the option to "deactivate" an account for users who want to take a break and return later, or to "delete" the account and its data entirely.
But Facebook noted that some data such as posts on friends' timelines might remain in the system even after an account is deleted.
And longtime Facebook users could face complications on dealing with log-ins and authorizations to other websites and apps through the social network.
The website The Verge published a guide to deletion, advising users to download a copy of all personal data including photos and posts before quitting.
The website noted that it could take up to 90 days to fully delete an account, and that data may be inaccessible during that period.
Users may also face choices on what to do about other Facebook-owned properties such as Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.
It was unclear how many users were following through on plans to quit Facebook, which has more than two billion users worldwide.
But Roger McNamee, an early investor in Facebook, said the social network was losing the trust of its users.
"The issue is a callous disregard for the privacy rights of users and a lack of care with respect to data that had been entrusted to Facebook," McNamee told National Public Radio.
"I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, but I'm afraid there is a systemic problem with the algorithms and the business model of Facebook that allow bad actors to cause harm to innocent users of Facebook."
I’m really surprised to hear speech by mark he said “a squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa” . so its clear fb will show only the things we want.
I conclude by saying fb will show everything. Lots of channels all over world join Acton can anyone see any quotes or memes or hashtag about this? Just think.
