Do You Seriously Need To Stop Using WhatsApp?

, hit hard because it seemed WhatsApp was collecting this data and sharing it with Facebook—that was the misreporting. It’s all good, WhatsApp said, we don’t sharesomeMore importantly, the rationale behind collecting all this data in the first place was downplayed. It seemed that WhatsApp’s was taking the view that the backlash would blow over and we would all forget. We collect it because we need it, was the message. But there was no word on exactly what was being used, and how.

WhatsApp’s specific backlash has been blown out of proportion. The change of terms is more benign than it was reported at the time. WhatsApp’s owner, Facebook, wants to enable its business customers to communicate with you on WhatsApp, and only if you agree to those contacts. If you do, though, some of those messages might be stored off of WhatsApp, outside its fabled end-to-end encryption.

WhatsApp says that “if you haven’t accepted by [May 15], WhatsApp will not delete your account,” but you will, effectively, lose use of your account after “a short time.” Even WhatsApp appeared confused over its plans as it delayed the February 8 deadline for accepting the new terms. On January 15, WhatsApp said “we will make sure users have plenty of time to review and understand the terms—rest assured we never planned to delete any accounts based on this and will not do so in the future.”That implies that accounts won’t be deleted. And maybe they won’t—despite headlines warning exactly that.

We need to regulate big tech. It’s about time! G8 should come together and make plausible, worldwide regulations on big tech companies. So they can’t mess within other countries.
