WhatsApp Updates

[socrates]

In their language "its a no brainer" India, Brazil, China are biggest users of messaging apps. Though I am not sure this app is allowed in the China. It gives them bragging rights & more importantly the valuation increases. So at the end of the day, I guess 'its all about money honey'.😁
Flattery can get him some more users🤣🤣

Now that recent crap from Arnab Goswami has made me further sceptical about using WA.
Not that I am into any of those things but getting hold of such data can seriously freak out anyone!!
Still more info needed how did such data leak from WA.

Cloud backup from the looks of it.

So didn't anyone learn any lesson from Deepika Padukone's incident!!

Most likely since cloud backups are not end to end encrypted.

Is it just me or has WhatsApp stopped asking to agree to their Privacy policy? Does it mean I will get kicked out in Feb or are they planning to postpone it? lol

This Was WhatsApp's Plan All Along

WhatsApp sparked user outrage due to changes in its privacy policy as it relates to Facebook. What became very clear very quickly is that, while everyone agreed on being outraged, there was a bit of fuzziness on what they agreed to be outraged about.

Yep. 3 month delay. Update will happen on May 15 now. No changes in the policy though.

Its finally got home to them. But this is a temporary reprieve only. Hope now users finally get the lead out of their pants & vote with their feet.

Phone numbers of WhatsApp Web users reportedly found on Google Search

After Group chats, WhatsApp has allegedly exposed the phone numbers of the web users on Google Search via indexing.

Shows how serious they are of users privacy!!! Its part of their DNA I guess.

Use Signal and enjoy your privacy, just like Arnab 😎

BARC Ex-CEO Partho Dasgupta recommends Republic Chief Editor Arnab Goswami to use Signal as 'call through it' are safe

Just saying...

Today I see a status message from WhatsApp with their usual spiel. Reminds me of this

First you create a half truth or an outright lie. Then you shout it out shrill & loud. Then repeat it many times, after that there will be umpteen mindless morons who will take up the chant for you. And hey presto it takes on a life of its own🤣🤣

This might still work on some people.

No policy changes till May, WhatsApp says will clear the doubts

The updated policy terms were first announced via an in-app notification to users by WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, asking them to agree to the new terms by February 8 or lose access to their accounts.
