Were they scared of abandonment? Facebook CEO Israel Adi Sofer Thani published a clarification post this morning (Thursday), in which she addressed the allegations directed at the social network following WhatsApp's latest privacy update.

According to the message that users of the instant messaging app receive, the transfer of information to Facebook must be approved by February 8, when anyone who clicks "Not Now" and ignores will no longer be able to use the app.

Super Thani opened the post: "I'm being asked a lot of questions about the latest update to WhatsApp's privacy policy regarding information sharing between WhatsApp and Facebook, and I'm already hearing conspiracy theories that any connection between them and reality is completely coincidental - so let's try to sort things out.""
She explained: "This policy update in no way affects the fact that all messages we send and receive on WhatsApp are completely private and end-to-end encrypted.".

The CEO emphasized: "The latest update only addresses changes to how businesses can use WhatsApp to connect with customers. Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook have the ability to see the private messages people send nor hear the conversations they have. We cannot read messages or hear conversations between friends, family, and coworkers.
""Everything people share and write on WhatsApp is private, and remains only between the participants in that conversation - that hasn't changed and it's not going to change!".
The CEO of Facebook Israel attached to the post a Hebrew version of the table that WhatsApp published a few days ago, which neatly states to users what the social network will not do with your information - such as "WhatsApp does not share your Nablus contacts with Facebook," and "WhatsApp and Facebook do not have the ability to see your shared locations.".
