I am sorry but this is bull, has been bull and continues to be bull. If you actually read the PP and TOS, you see that: 1. Nothing you share (content, pictures etc.) will be VISIBLE on Facebook for others to see (literally what they say), but it is pretty clear that this does not include what facebook does with the data aka sell it for ads. This is the only absolute protection that the PP/TOS affords you. They promise not the go an post your pictures or locations on some random facebook profile. That's it. 2. Naturally, they say that CURRENTLY do not share "sensitive" data with facebook for ad purposes. To quote: "Today, Facebook does not use your WhatsApp account information to improve your Facebook product experiences or provide you more relevant Facebook ad experiences on Facebook." But what about tomorrow? Why this wording, which appears several times in the PP/TOS? The intention of this PP is clearly to pave the way to use Whatsapp to enrich the ad targeting in Facebooks network. This was always the goal for Facebook, and they will fight tooth and nail to get that done. So where do we stand? You can accept the TOS/PP, allowing Facebook to do all the nefarious things it wants, simply because Whatsapp tells you that currently, "today", your data is safe. But you explicitly allow them to do all sorts of things. To wit, they also tell us (less prominently) that they will immediately share all data with facebook once an agreement with the Irish government is reached. However, even without that, you can count on them doing so if profit > fine. Beyond all the bull that has been produced by FB and Whatsapp, the reality is obviously that the singular goal of this entire exercise is to syphon off as much data from Whatsapp as they can get away with, relative to the fines they will have to pay. Anyone who agrees to this is naive.
