Did they? I thought it was just under discussion.
- llampx 8y agoThey have been doing it to a smaller extent outside the EU, with contacts data being shared between WhatsApp and Facebook. Therefore if you have the Facebook app installed as well as WhatsApp, every contact in Facebook and WhatsApp will be integrated as best as possible.
- dx034 8y agoWhich actually shows that European antitrust has some power. Facebook seems to be very aware that they can't get away (or at least pay more) with the same things in the EU as outside of it. Obviously frustrating for non-EU citizens but the only thing helping here will be more GDPR-like laws across the globe. If enough nations enact regulation like this, it'll be cheaper for a company to follow it globally.
