Η Whatsapp ανακοίνωσε πρόσφατα ότι θα εφαρμόσει μια νέα πολιτική απορρήτου για να διευκρινίσει ότι η εταιρεία θα συλλέγει και θα χρησιμοποιεί δεδομένα όταν ένας user sends messages. Of course we should also mention the changes, or the effects that the sharing of data with Facebook will bring, which the company is preparing.
Millions users reacted to the changes, and many were the ones who resorted to alternative applications such as Telegram or Signal.
Now, as it turns out, WhatsApp has decided to cancel the May 15 deadline for the release of the controversial privacy policy.
Σύμφωνα με ένα tweet από την Press Trust of India, η WhatsApp ακύρωσε την προθεσμία της 15ης Μαΐου για την αποδοχή της νέας πολιτικής απορρήτου. Η δημοσίευση αναφέρει επίσης ότι κανένας λογαριασμός δεν θα διαγραφεί αν οι νέοι όροι δεν γίνουν αποδεκτοί από τους χρήστες, κάτι που αποτελεί πλήρη ανατροπή στην attitude the company's.
WhatsApp scraps May 15 deadline for accepting privacy policy, says no accounts will be deleted if terms not accepted by users

In a statement, WhatsApp stated:
"While the majority of users who have received the new terms of service have accepted them, we estimate that some people have not had the opportunity to do so yet. No account will be deleted on May 15 due to this update and no one will lose WhatsApp functionality. We will be sending reminders to people in the coming weeks. "
At the first announcement, users had to accept the new privacy policy that paved the way for deeper integration of the service with Facebook before February 8th. According to the statement at the time, those who did not accept the new policy would be barred from using the messaging service.
Then the deadline changed for May 15th after the public reaction and now it seems that the deadline has been completely abolished.
