Easy now, you got bought by Facebook. Whatsapp may be retaining it's autonomy (for now), but the speculation that your messaging/other business records would be hooked into the greater Facebook data hoover was ANYTHING BUT baseless, unfounded or irresponsible.
Facebook's business model involves very heavy user surveillance. I'm not even saying that pejoratively, that's just how they operate. C'mon son!
- spinchange 13y ago...speculation that your messaging/other business records would be hooked into the greater Facebook data hoover was ANYTHING BUT baseless, unfounded or irresponsible. Indeed, it's entirely reasonable. It's not what's in WhatsApp's DNA that make people deduce this - it's what's in their new parent's.
- res0nat0r 13y ago> Facebook's business model involves very heavy user surveillance. By surveillance you mean analyzing data their users voluntarily upload to their social network...so they can make money?
- forgottenpass 13y agoYes, surveillance. The clarification I made in my previous post was meant to avoid exactly this tangent.
