Spain and the United Kingdom will also investigate the collection of WhatsApp data

Whatsapp

For a week and after the last WhatsApp update, all users are being forced to accept the terms in order to continue using the messaging application installed on more than one billion devices. These new terms ask us for permission to share our account information with Facebook in order to "improve our user experience." If you really want to improve the user experience, start adding all the functions that are available in Telegram for example and that to date have not yet reached WhatsApp.

The German government was the first country to cry out and forced the company to stop collecting data from WhatsApp users and to erase all information that he had obtained thus far. But they are not the only countries that have got to work to really check what happens with our data. Spain and the United Kingdom have also set out to investigate both companies, which are part of the same group.

The Spanish Agency for Data Protection wants to know exactly how, being different companies although included in the same group, information is transferred from one company to another and check if Spanish legislation is complied with in this regard. For now if we want to continue using the application we will have to accept the new terms yes or yes, since otherwise the application does not allow us to perform any other action.

Many are the users who are starting to use other messaging apps to eventually stop using WhatsApp, since Mark Zuckerberg has not fulfilled what he promised when he announced the purchase of the messaging platform in which he stated that user data would never be used for commercial or advertising purposes.
