FG disapproves whatsapp revised policy, moves to engage Facebook
The Federal Government has disapproved WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy, disclosing that it would engage the owners, Facebook, on perceived gray areas.
The stance of the government was made known in a statement released over the weekend by the Technical Assistant (Information Technology) to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Femi Adeluyi, he said his principal’s attention had been brought to the development.
The new rule allows WhatsApp to share information of users on its platform with the parent company, Facebook, and subsidiaries.
The data include user phone numbers, “transaction data, service-related information, information on how you interact with others (including businesses) when using our services, mobile device information and your IP address.”
Furthermore, WhatsApp said non-compliant users risk inaccessibility.
