Whatsapp Again Postpones The Date Of Implementing The New Rules Of Use Regarding Data Confidentiality

Facebook, the messaging service of Facebook, on Friday postponed again the deadline for strict enforcement of its new rules on confidentiality, for which it is facing criticism for its data collection of the two billion users around the world.

The US network had postponed the entry into force of these new rules by three months until May 15th, after an avalanche of criticism from users concerned about the possibility of the messaging service sharing more data with the parent network, Facebook.

On Friday, WhatsApp indicated on its website that it would not directly cut off the service from users who refuse to agree to the new rules of use, but it would continue to send reminders to those.

The platform notes that the new rules change the way advertisers who use WhatsApp to communicate with their customers can share data with Facebook.

But critics of the rules argue that such a change opens the door to a wider sharing of data with Facebook.

On Friday, the messaging service confirmed that “no one will lose their account or lose the ability to use WhatsApp on May 15th due to this update.”

However, users will receive “persistent” reminders about the new policy and may lose some features in the service if they disagree with the new rules.

These restrictions may include disabling your ability to see messages while still receiving audio or video calls. After weeks, users who do not agree to the new rules will lose the ability to receive messages or communications.
