While Germany is protecting their citizens from facebook's shady privacy policies, The US leaders argue about who has more stamina.
I'm very happy paying 1$ a year for privacy and security.
Whatsapp just re-iterated that they will say anything to fool its users and break their promise.
Facebook should definitely get a fine in billions and should be made to apologize publicly for breaching privacy.
- zigzigzag 10y agoIf you're paying $1 a year you don't have privacy: you just gave your banking details to the provider. Why do you think this is better than optional linking to a Facebook profile that may or may not even use your real name, and almost certainly does not have your street address on it?
- AlexandrB 10y agoBanking details are far from then most damaging thing you can reveal. Things like credit card fraud are usually insured by your bank and WhatsApp is not getting access to peer into your account balance when you pay for something. Facebook's data mining allows it to form a profile of your preferences, which political groups you belong to, where you spend most of your time, and who you associate with. This is all potentially damaging information - especially under the right circumstances like the political tumult happening in Turkey.
