Jan Koum to leave after broad clashes with Facebook

What else should he do? He took billions of $ along with a promise that he'll keep control. FB lied, so now he's leaving. I can't blame him here. Money can easily buy a bit of naïvety.

That really depends on what was stated in the terms of acquisition. At the most extreme sue to demerge.

But is that a fight he is willing to accept?

That'd be gutsy, but suing wouldn't have a chance unless he had promises in writing, which I doubt.
