  • Yes. I don’t endorse WhatsApp. What I meant is if you chat with 15 people out of which 5 use WhatsApp, only those 5 chats are potentially readable by Meta. Because those are the only chats which will get sent to Meta servers.

    So you have the benefit that the other 10 chats are not readable by Meta.




  • True. However there are certain advantages

    • WhatsApp gets only a part of your data (coz many people might be on different apps)
    • You don’t have to run WhatsApp on your device so they can’t collect that data either

    I know it’s not perfect but better than the current scenario and a step in the right direction



  • I only heard of it because I follow Matrix blog.

    I saw the technical discussions (if you are a tech person I would recommend watching those on YT) and it seems that EU is trying to find some middle ground where companies won’t have to incur a lot of losses but still be open and create a fair environment for newcomers.
