Former Chief Business Officer of WhatsApp says he regrets the $22 billion sale to Facebook.
In a series of tweets he writes,
WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton. 2 years in (2011), I joined the team as Chief Business Officer. And in 2012/13, we were approached by Zuck & Facebook about an acquisition. We declined and decided to keep growing instead.
But thenβ¦
FB approached us again early 2014 with an offer that made it look like a partnership:
β’ Full support for end-to-end encryption
β’ No ads (ever)
β’ Complete independence on product decisions
β’ Board seat for Jan Koum
β’ Our own office in Mountain View
β’ Etc.
As we began talking through the acquisition, and made our stance very clear:
- No mining user data
- No ads (ever)
- No cross-platform tracking
FB and their management agreed and we thought they believed in our mission.
Of course, thatβs not what happened.
In 2014, WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook for $22 billion (in cash & stock).
But by 2017 and 2018, things started to look very differentβ¦
Until eventually, in 2018, right as details of the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal came out, Brian Acton sent a tweet that sent shockwaves through the social media stratosphere.
Today, WhatsApp is Facebookβs second largest platform (even bigger than Instagram or FB Messenger).
But itβs a shadow of the product we poured our hearts into, and wanted to build for the world.
And I am not the only one who regrets that it became part of Facebook when it did.
