WhatsApp is the target of a very important decision that was taken against those from Facebook in Europe, and it has an impact for hundreds of millions of people who use the platform on the continent. A few days ago, a court in Germany decided that Facebook should no longer combine the data collected about its users through WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and this decision is one that must be put into practice even now.
WhatsApp is on everyone's attention because this decision was taken as part of a process by which Facebook is accused of anti-competitive practices because of the way it combined the data of its users. Facebook combined the data from WhatsApp, its platform, and Instagram, to display ads, and not only that, but the Germans are not too enthusiastic about what happened, so they ordered the company to change its strategy.
WhatsApp: IMPORTANT Decision, Impact on MILLIONS of People
WhatsApp it does not have to have user data combined with those of Instagram and Facebook, for now only in Germany, but the impact can be for hundreds of millions of people in Europe. If Germany made a decision of this kind, other important countries in Europe can go in the same direction, moreover, we will more than likely see a decision at the level of the European Union, and WhatsApp will be one of the affected platforms.
WhatsApp was bought by Facebook with the promise that user data will not be combined with those from the other platforms of the American company, but what was said then was not respected. Now the company is involved in a very important lawsuit regarding its practices, and as WhatsApp is the largest messaging platform in the world, it is quite clear that the way it takes our data will change.
WhatsApp for now he has said absolutely nothing about this decision, those from Facebook saying that they will attack it, but it remains to be seen what kind of success they will have in this process intended against users.
