Do I think it's noble that Koum is leaving because of his convictions? Yes. Do I think this is a good sign for Facebook's stock? Yes.


> Do I think this is a good sign for Facebook's stock? Yes.

Why? Is having a person on the board that provides a moral check on the others a hazard to Facebook's stock price?


It can be. Now they can start advertising on WhatsApp and begin to release that revenue giant.


With recent regulation, it might be better in some scenarios to not push advertising on some platforms, or at least have some sort of pushback before it's implemented so that it's done in a way that doesn't open them up to fines.

Absolutely. You and I can agree it is a good social thing, but when it comes to revenue and growth that can be a huge impediment.
