Wow! He recently invested in Signal foundation, essentially funding direct WhatsApp competition. He clearly doesn’t like Zuck or his ideas. Edit: let’s not forget how fb was founded in the first place, so asking loyalty from him is a bit silly
There goes $6B that FB gave to him when they acquired WhatsApp.. if someone gives me even a millian, I wouldn't say anything bad about them in public forum.. I might have different opinion but saying such things in public is not appropriate for ppl like him..
Signal and whatsapp target a different audience
Yes. People cynical about Facebook vs those not.

Sellout. Oh, now it’s ok to be against Facebook because it’s fashionable? I can’t stand FB, but this mofo is biting the hand that fed him. Fuck. Him.
I think it’s more than being fashionable, Signal - the app that he funded maintains user privacy, unlike WhatsApp. It could be result of his beliefs too.
Read about his intentions founding WhatsApp. Don't forget it used to cost $1/year after the first year because they were trying to avoid yet another ad funded business. I'm not so sure he was on board with the Facebook buy out. Zuck and Jan Koum turned into buddies. And Acton likely didn't have the voting power to turn down the deal.
