My guess is that the acquisition of WhatsApp was purely defensive -- and, as such, very little will change with the app (think Instagram, or Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr).

I've worked in consumer law. If this article represents the facts correctly, then this complaint strikes me as baloney -- a marketing gimmick for EPIC more than anything else. Companies with privacy policies...

I'm not a WhatsApp user but I don't believe Facebook bought it to just change nothing and to gain nothing. After all, they paid $19billion for it. They may not do it right away but I would tell WhatsApp users to beware.
In reply to: Re: Will you still use it?
How is this a legal issue? Change the ToS, make users click an 'agree' button, and do whatever they want with the data, within legal boundaries of course. Maybe folks have confused 'legal' and 'against ToS', like people...

Ariella, Yes. That distraction let's them play a double game. And everyone is happy living in the lies of distraction. So why change? Meanwhile, now with more ways of knowing how your privacy is being taken away,...
