WhatsApp is one of the platforms that received a hard blow from the European Union today, but this is great news for us because we will finally benefit from the protection we needed. The European Court of Justice made the decision that large American companies can no longer transfer the data of Europeans to their own servers en masse, as they did until now based on an agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA, and WhatsApp is affected.
WhatsApp it was supposed to have user data transferred to Facebook servers in the US to make the interconnection with Instagram and Messenger, but this process is becoming impossible now. The European Court of Justice decided that in the USA there are no protections similar to those of the GDPR, despite the agreement between the European Union and the country, so WhatsApp will no longer have that easy interconnection with Messenger and Instagram, at least not very soon .
WhatsApp: HARD BLOW from the EU, GREAT News for Us
WhatsApp you will no longer be able to have the data transferred by Facebook even to display personalized advertisements for us, based on the detection from the messaging platform. Today's decision is an extremely important one that targets much more than WhatsApp, many American companies have now imposed a new series of restrictions in terms of data transfer, but for us this means much better data protection.
WhatsApp they should rethink many of the systems on the basis of which they interact with other Facebook services, and the interconnection with the other platforms seems to be something that is still very far from implementation. This kind of overturns the plans of those at Facebook, who wanted to integrate with WhatsApp other platforms to facilitate easier communication for users, but of course also to extract more data about them.
WhatsApp could have seriously postponed the interconnection plan with Instagram and Messenger, but on the other hand, our data should be safer in the European Union.
