Somebody always owns something, that's capitalism. But I would argue that Whatsapp works differently than FB, it's really just a communication tool, it doesn't manipulate you through a "feed".
- belltaco 6y agoAnd what's to say Facebook isn't harvesting all the phone numbers, contacts and the social graph and feeding it into FB and FB's ads? Especially since Whatsapp does not seem to be monetized in any way.
- AnonC 6y agoThere’s no need to speculate on this. WhatsApp officially declared some years ago that it will share communication metadata with Facebook. So even though the message content (being E2E encrypted) isn’t shared with Facebook, everything else about one’s messages is.
