    Thanks.

    That is what the article is explaining.

    The planned improvements are a good thing. I thought we talked about the status right/ until now.

    Also: What does it mean then Meta (the company) isn’t eager to collect this data (anymore)? This doesn’t fit my world view of this company.

      Meta acquired WhatsApp and somehow hasn’t messed it up yet. WhatsApp has always been fairly good with privacy and doesn’t share much with other Meta apps as far as I’m aware.

      They don’ want to moderate contents of your convos, it got expensive.

      They are still mining the meta data to create cohort groups.

        Where is the evidence of Meta mining WhatsApp metadata?

                WhatsApp is a Meta business unit, yes.

                And it has its own rules and policies for what is shared with other Meta business units.

                Google has spell out the same. Just because you provide data like location to one Google service doesn’t automatically mean every other Google service can access it.

                And they can’t just change their internal data policies however they like as some of this is governed by legal regulations.

                Here’s a a story about how Google is not allowed to share data across business units without user consent, at least in the EU.
