    Default Facebook / Whatsapp privacy issues

    Whatsapp have just issued an update, with new Terms and Conditions, that will allow them to pass your phone number and other info to Facebook. (Facebook own Whatsapp now).

    This could lead to unexpected privacy traps, for those who use the same phone here and for private things. For example, if an escort and client both have Whatsapp and Facebook on their phones, Facebook could suggest one as a Friend to the other, even though the only link between the two people is that one has the other as a contact.

    There is an opportunity only for the first 30 days to opt out of this data sharing. If you want to, go into Whatsapp Settings .....Account.....Share my account info, and uncheck the box.

    If that option does not show up you may need to uninstall and reinstall Whatsapp.

    Scumbags!! Privacy gets harder all the time.
