Earlier this January 2021, Whatsapp rolled out new policy that will be guiding it Whatsapp Messager app henceforth. It was much in words, but the Vital point is the transferring of individual data to facebook.
This works in the sense that user will now be getting suggestion of ads displayed on their Facebook, Instagram app similar with his/ her whatsapp discussion. For example, if you’re talking about shoes or wears on whatsapp, once you open up your Instagram or Facebook app, you will be shown suggested Shoes and wears you should consider buying.
Whatsapp New Policy
This has raised global concern on how people’s data will now be marketed, while Mark Zuckerberg (Ceo of Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp) will make money out of it.
Unfortunately, many have already accepted the pop-up new policy without reading them. This implies that they agree with the terms and conditions of their Data being leaked.
However, the World richest man Elon Musk suggested on his official Twitter Handle that people should move over to Signal Private Messager app instead. At the same point, Telegram official Twitter account makes joke of whatsapp new policy by embedding the whatsapp new pop-up screenshot on the popular Ghana Undertaker Gif.
Although an argument is ongoing between individuals concerning either Moving to Signal Private Messager or Telegram app. Moreover, I think Signal Private Messager app should be on the go now as Telegram doesn’t provide E2EE by default.
You can’t verify the contact’s identify, Everything you chat about still gets logged. Telegram privacy policy clearly mentions monitoring chats for safety reasons. From my point of view, I will suggest Signal too.
