WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
I'm so disappointed in this. Whatsapp is a functional tool. It was successful since it worked.<p>Facebook has entirely failed to utilise it - to allow external systems to connect in so that businesses can do business on there. The voice calls are also a disaster.<p>They've now come along to start messing with the privacy to start selling ads.  It is insane that they're able to make such a mess of this. Is there a word for anti-innovation?<p>Considering that they're linking Facebook ad platform with the chats, and they're forcing this upon everyone, why isn't this covered by the monopoly laws? Most of us paid some money for the app.
