WhatsApp could launch a new version of its controversial terms of use

According to the specialized portal WABetaInfo, the messenger prepares a new update of the terms and conditions that will solve the problem once and for all.

The change in privacy policy has been one of the most controversial topics of the year when it comes to communication platforms. WhatsApp announced at first that they would have to be accepted yes or yes to continue using the platform, even for users from the European Union who would not be affected. In the end everything relaxed, but the damage to his reputation had already been done, and Signal and Telegram benefited from it.

Now, as reported WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp prepares a new update of the terms and conditions that will solve the problem once and for all, since it must be remembered that the warning message to accept them continues to appear, although it does not limit the experience as much as expected.

Optional conditions and only for Facebook Business

According to WABetaInfo, the WhatsApp update will indicate that you can use the platform to talk to people without accepting the new conditions

This is being the case right now because the messages to accept them are not permanent and can be closed, but in the end it will be an important change, because the poster that will warn of the changes will show its acceptance as something optional, not as something mandatory that can be optionally rejected , precise Genbeta.

In order to speak with a business that uses cloud providers to manage chats (which is what the controversial privacy policy was always focused on), the user will have to read and accept the conditions. If you do not accept them, you will not be able to speak to the recipient.

In Europe and Spain, it is to be expected that, like the previous change, this will not affect us, although we do ask to accept the conditions. This is because here the GDPR prevents Facebook from carrying out the controversial collection of personal data.
