Handywork:
when I saw this yesterday morning
I was shocked... since it said it can't view our status and privacy I think it's ok if not I would have mute it...

Emmynation:
Checked my WhatsApp this evening, saw WhatsApp status ,I was like
A new feature,and I guess the pressures over privacy concerns fuelled it

Flytime:
heard it was terrible and they refused to upgrade just like seun is refusing to upgrade nairaland and they lost to emerging competitions like nairaland will most likely do if care is not taking

Nbotee:


Dey do not generate funds by selling anything. Atleat not at the moment. Traffic isn't sales. Some of U jus want to argue anyhow. D question isn't about whether dey generate money or not, are dey selling anything?

9jayes:
Ads showing loading...

airsaylongcome:


Yes. Data and metadata about your WhatsApp usage

beehivedata:
People are always weary of what they do not understand. Privacy or not, people will not stop using whatsapp.

Obiossy:

Bro they are lying, I was discussing about importing sex items , immediately I logged into my Facebook account I started seeing ads relating to my private chat with my Chinese contacts

Nbotee:


U ppl keep contradicting urselves. They sell data and metadata so what dropped their sales? The buyers no longer have need for it abi d data no dey sell again?

Nbotee:


Some of U are funny.. If they are selling ur data like U claim, why would dey b worried about sales reducing? Did the buyers stop buying ur data? It's funny when some of U talk about ur data being sold. The same data most ppl very openly display on social media platforms?

meobizy:
I like it. It reminds me of when Tom was my MySpace buddy. Nairalanders won’t remember that era. There was also the Yoruba boy of NaijaPals who loved attention so much that he followed Tom’s example. I doubt Hi5 had such a character. Mark should follow suit on Facebook. He made friendship with himself optional. Person go old if he dey find the possibility here.

Now, if only the contact can send nudes daily.

airsaylongcome:


So on point. I for see a situation where you must view the ads before you can see status updates from your contacts

Twelfthman:
There are nairaland people who use MySpace back then. How insulting to conclude people won't remember MySpace era but you do

Olayetan:


Many times I experience same when I do window shopping on E-commerce sites, exactly what I was checking out will just pop up every where on my Facebook timeline, those people most times track things we do on our phones.

True talk. The guy thinks all nairalander are his mate. My hi5 is still active and I have been using it since 2005

MoIbrahim:


To start, yoo you think all the money mtn, glo, airtel and etisalat deduct from you for using data on WhatsApp and Facebook remains with the telcoms only? Think again o.

stanisbaratheon:


Many in the western world will stop.

It's only Nigerians that would continue, after all many Nigerians think Buhari's government is very good.

firstratedcitiz:
Let's end the unnecessary arguments and just replace 'sales' with 'revenues'.

beehivedata:
What's buhari got to do with this? For the sake of our sanity, let's focus on the topic please. With that being said, only time will tell on how much people from the western world would either boycott the app or remain users.
