In 2014, Facebook bought the WhatsApp messenger for $ 16 billion. Acton left the company in early 2018 to work on a new startup.
March 19, it became known that the company Cambridge Analytics, bypassing the rules of Facebook, used data collected by the developer of a third-party application. Presumably, this information was used by Donald Trump’s headquarters to set up effective advertising companies in the social network.
