Bizarre story given the new privacy policy in the EU changed nothing wrt what data is shared with Facebook.

  Last I checked it was a lot of words for no change at all. If the change is so small, they could have allowed EU users to opt out (and maybe miss out on some features), they would have avoided the outcry.

    The point of the change is to enable business messaging, which is necessary for WhatsApp to generate any real revenue.

      That's what I heard indeed, but that's still too many words if I don't want to receive messages from businesses anyway. They could have prompted users before the first interaction with a business for instance. Then users would have clearly linked the two.
