You know WhatsApp is Facebook right? I don't think there is a worse company to trust except maybe Google. :)

  Didn't Apple just show us how brand names are basically meaningless? I am only concerned with their actions, not their owners.

    WhatsApp's action are pretty bad, did you forget that terms of service change a few months ago? They literally said that WhatsApp will start to share metadata, including your availability, status and the people you talk with, with Facebook companies. Who are you trying to convince? Did Facebook pay you to say this or something?

      I remember the terms of service change and I almost left the platform because of it. But you are also greatly mischaracterizing the change. It actually only allows those things in some pretty specific circumstances which are under the user's control (although that's still not ideal, of course). I am only trying to convince WhatsApp that the stance they are taking here is the right one. Unless we give credit where it's actually due, what will be the incentive for any bigcorp to take any privacy-protecting actions?

    Opposite directions. If you put a clean shirt and a dirty shirt in a bag together, the dirty shirt can rub off it'd dirtiness on the clean one, but the cleanness can't rub off and make the dirty shirt clean.

    They make an statement and this guy talks like he has their source code.
