Crossposting what I said on Twitter:

> My contrarian impulse is that I want y'all to stop dunking on Acton for this tweet. (Context: One of the WhatsApp cofounders who sold to Facebook and made lots of money.) People's views change over time and it can take years for a conviction to form and then crystalize.

> It's very possible that Acton is burning bridges with that tweet. Don't assume that he loses nothing by speaking up now.
