According to Android Police, whatsapp’s privacy issue might be illegal in some countries and they are taking legal actions against it.
Whatsapp is seeing bad days after they revealed their privacy update. This privacy update is about merging whatsapp user data with Facebook.
Seems like a deja vu from last Elections where facebook was blamed to share user data with trump to assist him win elections.
This may be only applicable in German whatsapp but there is a hope it will be implemented to all regions.
I think this is a serious issue with privacy and users must deny the data sharing and use other alternatives like signal and telegram.
