Vienna researchers retrieved all WhatsApp numbers. The 3.5 billion profiles represent the largest data leak in history—and it's worse than you might think.

I have questions about whatsapp.

How big of a security riski is it?
How private is it?
How much controll i have in it over my data?
What data does it have about me?

I am going degoogle soon and want to avoid bigtech all together, but whatsapp is the BIG problem since even work related stuff requires it. Can i in good faith still somehow use whatsapp? 🤕
