Why Facebook Bought WhatsApp ?
- Do facebook engineers don’t know how to build the app like WhatsApp?
- Of course they know how to build a app like whatsapp but what they need is our data from the WhatsApp.
- This is the reason facebook bought whatsapp.
- At First Release of whatsapp they did not charged a single penny from us for using their services.
- But now they are asking our privacy for providing ads and lot more.
A lot of people afraid about that their personal /private data is being used for providing ads.
- The answer is no ,nobody is taking your personal / private date.
- Companies don’t use your personal / private data they use metadata(data about data)
Example:
1.When there are more selling of mobile phones during Christmas is a metadata . companies analyse these metadata and provide great offers at the time of Christmas in the upcoming years.
2.In google drive we save our photos and files.They don’t share your data but they use your metadata.
3.Linkedin also use our metadata to show job recommendations to users and how many freshers are available to the companies.
