Gee, it was stupidly obvious that Facebook could automate crossing information:
* It constantly prompts people for their phone numbers (and most people provide it).
* For new accounts, is REQUIRES a phone number.
Whatsapp accounts are based on phone numbers.
Isn't it quite obvious how easy it is to cross accounts? Do I REALLY need to spell this out further?
- Markoff 9y agoyou can have dual SIM phone
- hobarrera 9y agoFacebook affirmed they could not cross information between their users and whatsapp users. Dual SIMs are irrelevant to this, a very very small minority of the users will be providing using this feature to have separate numbers of facebook and whatsapp.
- riffraff 9y agoit was, which is why the commission accounted for it when approving the merger. The fine is only because they lied about it.
