Η WhatsApp announcement continues to concern many as the company tried to pass a new privacy policy that allowed some information to be made available on Facebook. Following the initial reactions, the company sought to clarify its position, and chose to delay the implementation of the new policy. Eventually, however, the new Terms of Service were released as an option, except in one specific case.
While there will always be skepticism about sharing information with Facebook especially if you don't use Facebook directly, the root cause of its recent controversy services WhatsApp with the public was "we decide and order".
He said little about the exact purpose of the change, the nature and the limitations of this data sharing policy. After a bunch of delays the company tried to review and finally give up these terms.
WhatsApp initially said it planned to roll back the functionality over time until users accept the new reality. The intense review ανάγκασε την εταιρεία να ανανεώσει το νέο ToS (από το Terms of Service) και να το κάνει τελικά προαιρετικό, εκτός από τις επιχειρήσεις ανταλλαγής μηνυμάτων που χρησιμοποιούν παρόχους cloud. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, οι χρήστες θα πρέπει να συμφωνήσουν με αυτούς τους όρους πριν καν μπορέσουν να στείλουν μηνύματα σε αυτλή την business.
This is a policy that WhatsApp probably had to follow from the beginning, because it concerns the real purpose of the new privacy policy or at least the purpose stated by the company.
So regular WhatsApp users should not worry about the new privacy policy. There is currently no known date for announcing these changes, but hopefully an announcement from WhatsApp will stop the controversy.
