"If our cooperation with Facebook it meant we had to change our values, we would not do it ", wrote Jan Koum, CEO of WhatsApp in blog of the company, adding that the publications claiming that WhastApp will launch the data are “irresponsible.”

WhatsApp says it doesn't even collect basic information like your email address or birthday, unlike many social services like Facebook. WhatsApp does not collect the message content or the sent between users.

According to the company's terms of service, "The content of any messages are not stored by the WhatsApp application - the messages go directly to the devices of the sender and the recipient and which can be deleted according to the user's choice."

Of course, what is not mentioned anywhere is the fact that now WhatsApp is Facebook. This means that even if the messages are not stored, Facebook has something worthwhile paying 16 for billions of dollars. The telephone numbers of the users' personal telephones.

The statements and the content of the statements of the "company" WhatsApp, were expected, as many people are in a dilemma after its acquisition by Facebook, which as we all know does not respect the of its members.
