In this regard, the company says that even once the chat is saved by the user. WhatsApp recently reported that users can now keep their secret messages at will for as long as they want or forever. In this regard, WhatsApp is also taking new steps to protect the data of its users. The privacy policy is designed to secure users’ data so that users can easily trust any social media platform. But the company withdrew its move after objections from users. Some time ago, there were fears that WhatsApp might suddenly collapse due to WhatsApp’s privacy policy. The EU fined also Facebook €110 million (then $120 million) for misleading its users about the company's power to link accounts between its other services following its controversial takeover of WhatsApp.įacebook took over WhatsApp in 2014, two years after buying the photo service Instagram.WhatsApp is a platform that is used by more than half of the world’s population today and the number of users is increasing every day. In December, the US Federal Trade Commission and 48 states in December filed a lawsuit against Facebook for violating competition laws, accusing the social medium of market monopoly. WhatsApp's parent company Facebook has been on a collision course with regulators in the United States and the EU for years, with the situation coming to a head at the end of 2020. In May 2020, Germany's data privacy commissioner Ulrich Kelber advised against using WhatsApp in federal ministries and institutions, urging government bodies to respect data protection.
WhatsApp was once considered a safe instant messaging software, thanks to its end-to-end encryption.Įuropean Union politicians used the app during Brexit negotiations, giving rise to the term "WhatsApp diplomacy." The European Commission later changed course, urging its employees to switch to Signal, citing privacy concerns. Signal was developed by data privacy activists to implement a sealed sender policy, concealing the messages metadata, which could typically reveal the sender, receiver and timing of messages. Tesla chief and billionaire Elon Musk took to Twitter to call for people to switch to apps like Signal. The update has sparked anger among some WhatsApp users, who are considering switching to other instant messaging services. "If the only way to refuse (the modification) is to stop using WhatsApp, the the consent is forced as the use of personal data is illegal," he said. Privacy advocates sharply criticized the update, with some warning that the new terms were not legal.Īrthur Messaud, a lawyer for La Quadrature du net, an association that defends internet users, told news agency AFP that the update was unlawfully forcing users to agree to the breach of their data if they wanted to keep using the messaging service.
WhatsApp asked its users to agree to the new terms and conditions, or no longer have access to the app. The new terms would allow users of WhatsApp Business to use the updated functions in the EU and the UK, a company's spokesperson told news agency AFP. The terms include facilitating e-commerce through WhatsApp, as Facebook tries to monetize the messaging service. The messaging service WhatsApp on Thursday announced to its almost two million users its updated terms, which would allow the app to share further users' data with its parent company Facebook.
