What does #WhatsApp's #PrivacyPolicy update deadline mean for #users who don't accept it? @MishiChoudhary breaks it all down on @Gadgets360. #BigTech #mydata #WhatsAppPrivacyPolicy #Facebook
WhatsApp's most controversial privacy update deadline is here, but the company has issued some relaxations. Earlier WhatsApp had said that in order to continue using the app, you will have to accept the privacy policy, but now, it says no accounts will be deleted on May 15 because of this update and no one in India will lose functionality of WhatsApp either. So, what is this privacy update, and should you accept it? We sat down with Mishi Choudhary, Technology Lawyer and Founder of SFLC, New York to really understand everything in detail.
WhatsApp is a well-funded, highly strategic enemy of digital privacy.
We all value our privacy — and companies like Facebook know it. That's why they claim to value it too.
But that is a lie.
