Whatsapp - New data mining by Facebook
There is a lot of stuff flowing around the internet on Whatsapp now sending a lot of data to Facebook, (parent company) unless you are in the EU. It appears to be browser data, location information and lots of secondary data about your usage.
Does this bother you?
Does it bother you enough to leave?
I've cut back to a minimum my posts on Facebook. I have not dropped entirely because one of my businesses uses Facebook for advertising.
Please keep this thread to privacy and data miniing issues. I'm starting a different thread in PARF on the political implications.
