Nothing new in this since all these companies have been collecting all kinds of data since the beginning internet. They collect all this data and from time to time they get forced to disclose to us that. I don't think joining Singal or Telegram won't change it. Whatsapp has some idea about privacy once and then it was bought by Facebook. Can we be sure the same couldn't happen to these 2 apps? Also, I read that these 2 Apps have their own flows too.

I'm not taking the side of Facebook or anything. I do like the whole vibe about people moving to other platforms. But I don't think it will hurt WhatsApp too badly. But losing a considerable number of users might make them rethink any future plans of milking users' data. Any popular App which based in either the USA or China has backdoors to their government agencies. You can be sure about that. Whatever they say in public and in court these companies do what they need to do to survive.

I completely agree with you. There's nothing new about this stuff, just media noise that gives this a hype. As you said, moving to other services like Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp doesn't change anything. Well, nowadays it's a raging issue, I literally saw people get to streets and filing lawsuits. What the heck? It's their app, they can do anything they would like, including informed change of policies. If you don't like it don't use it, instead of making unnecessary chaos.

Well I am not going off either. In fact I hardly use WhatsApp, it's for family and school friends, and communications from the school that's all. Most of my activity is on Discord, and I love that service. I really don't mind WhatsApp's new policies to be really honest, nothing that serious in my opinion.
