Jan koum, the ceo of whatsapp, resigns his post

Facebook has been experiencing enough problems in recent months, although they will not end soon. Since they are also experiencing an internal crisis. Something that is going to increase with the resignation of Jan Koum, CEO and founder of WhatsApp. It seems that the bad relationship with Mark Zuckerberg and the difference of opinion in many aspects has caused this resignation.

Both were in clear disagreement on the direction that the messaging application should follow. In addition, Zuckerberg wanted to change the encryption in the application to access the data and thus use it for commercial purposes.

Also, recently Mark Zuckerberg would have proposed a new model for WhatsApp. According to this model, the messaging application would lose its independence and integrate with Facebook completely. Something that Jan Koum didn't like either. Since he was in favor of maintaining the independence of the application at all times.

But it seems that there has been no rapprochement between both parties, so finally the WhatsApp CEO has resigned from his position. He has published a brief statement, in which nothing is mentioned. Although it is likely that in a while the true reasons for his departure will be known.

In this way, the two founders have already left the company, Brian Acton did so last year. Something that seems to leave Zuckerberg free to execute his new plan for WhatsApp. So it will be necessary to see if there are changes in the application or if this integration with Facebook is carried out.
