WhatsApp’s mask has fallen: its new Terms &
Conditions explicitly state that it shares users’ private data with
its parent company Facebook.
WhatsApp has over 2 BILLION
users worldwide. Facebook
cross-references data from billions of people from their platforms such as your name,
your phone number, location and uses it to target you with ads and
recommended content.
WhatsApp and Facebook are under
big media pressure, but we must urgently
build a grassroots #OwnYourData
revolution. Their new
terms come into force in a few days -- this is the perfect moment to
demand WhatsApp to ask for clear consent before they
harvest our data.
Add your name now:
Facebook:
You don't own my data! Drop WhatsApp data harvesting
The only consumers protected from
this data-sharing are those in the EU and UK, thanks to GDPR. But
the rest of the world is subject to Zuckerberg’s desires. Even if
you don't use Facebook, your data will be his!
The more data Facebook has, the
more money it’ll make. We are the
business model, and that's what we need to fight.
We need to fight for better
treatment from the tech giants -- and more control over our own
data. In the long run that means breaking up their monopolies. Right
now it means demanding they don’t harvest our data without
permission.
We have got to stop this madness. Join #OwnYourData
revolution and
demand WhatsApp to ask for clear consent before they
harvest our data. Sign

Last week we were part of the
historic call to ban Trump from Twitter -- we even sailed a boat in
front of the Twitter CEO's house. And our voices were heard. This
movement has huge power, and we have got to keep fighting against
Big Tech. While breaking their monopoly might be the only solution
to stop this outrageous business model, we have to take action in
the meantime. The world needs us.
