I wonder from where they get the data if I don’t have Facebook or Instagram. WhatsApp is a shitty app that I begrudgingly use because of the parents groups and some relatives that I didn’t manage to make switch to signal.
WhatsApp links you to a social circle and Meta has all of the information of said social circle.
I don’t need to know you like soccer if I know 10 people who have a soccer team and you’re on all of their contact lists.
Facebook absolutely builds ghost profiles for people who don’t have a Facebook profile. You see all of those “Like” buttons on non-Facebook websites? Those are cookies that are essentially tracking you. They may not have your first/last name or other personal data as a regular profile, but they can build a pretty damn good composite of you.

Yeah I thought it would be something like that… feels shady af
And people will still use it.
Time to switch to a different client.
Check out Signal; it works very well.
Is there, by any chance, an alternative client?
thats the push i need to disable whatsapp notifications.
if only the literal state, and corporations didnt fucking force me to use it.
Privacy is never single player, so we must get good at spreading our ideas to those around us.
What? The communications app owned by Facebook is using data from other Facebook owned platforms to target ads? Who could have ever seen this coming!
Normies got nothing to hide and they dont mind ads.
So, stop saying privacy. Say control, scam and abuse.
Normies got nothing to say and have no mind.
So the whole security and privacy claims are purely marketing.
Yes, but so are the ads!
“WhatsApp doesn’t collect your data!”
(because everything else they own does)
Haaaa noyb… never a dull moment with them.
