WhatsApp Co-Founder, Who Made Billions from Facebook, Says It's Time to #DeleteFacebook
Among the many voices calling for people to leave scandal-hit Facebook, one stands out: Brian Acton, the co-founder of messaging service WhatsApp, which Facebook now owns.
Facebook’s stock price is down more than 11% since last weekend’s reports that Cambridge Analytica, a right-leaning political consultancy, acquired and misused the personal data of tens of millions of Facebook users. The social network is now facing crackdowns from regulators in the U.S. and Europe, and an investor lawsuit over that share price slump.
Many people have pointed out that Cambridge Analytica didn’t use Facebook’s data in an unusual way: it wanted to influence people. But even before the latest scandal hit, Facebook was caught up in a furor over propaganda that might have influenced the 2016 U.S. election, and growing disquiet over its deliberately addictive and arguably divisive nature.
“It is time. #deletefacebook,” Acton tweeted on Tuesday night. The hashtag he used has been trending since the weekend’s scandal broke.

Schumer, unions pitch infrastructure plan, reversal of some Trump tax cuts
Surrounded by union workers, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer called President Donald Trump's infrastructure plan a sham, and urged that recent federal tax cuts for corporations and the richest Americans be rolled back to help pay for long-overdue repairs.
Standing near the 115-year-old Livington Avenue bridge across the Hudson River, Schumer said the Trump plan, which limits federal financial support while seeking more private and state investment, falls far short of what is needed to fix aging roads, bridges, water and sewage systems.
"The federal government has said they are not paying another nickel," said Schumer. He warned the plan, if adopted, would result in more private control over projects. "Highway tolls would be going up all over" he said, as states raise the cash needed to repay investors with a profit.
He said the price tag to replace the Livingston Avenue bridge, which connects passenger rail service to the west and north of the Rensselaer Amtrak station, could be $1 billion.
Schumer said money for nationwide infrastructure spending can be found by increasing the corporate tax rate, which under last year's tax cut was lowered from 35 percent to 21 percent, to 25 percent
