Appreciate your response. As a layman, if the service I'm using does not have access to any of the content of my messages, how would you (Whatsapp) be sharing my data? If whatsapp cannot read texts, images, location etc., then what get

Thank you for your response. I think I fully agree with the last line - those who do not care about privacy won't really be affected by this. I have a question to ask. How would this work? Even if for a second we assume that they'

Am I the only one who does not subscribe to a single youtube channel on any of my accounts? My theory is that once you've watched a few of the videos you're interested in, the YouTube algorithm curates a list for me which I can co

Couldn't edit, so replying to my comment: The newbie section comes with a limited number of posts per day - so for example, I sign up today, I can post a maximum of 5 posts per day, and this limit goes up as I accumulate "likes&qu

This is good reply. Can you shed some light on what apart from coddling can help a baby sleep? Is there a way to try and make the baby pick up that skill, like you've mentioned here? > In the early stages, you should also be aware t
