Facebook Buys Chat Program WhatsApp for 16 Billion
Have to keep up with the times, and the kids/teens are using Whatsapp to chat. I personally stopped using Facebook messenger when it started asking for SMS reading abilities in the last few releases.
The last thing I want is Faceybook reading my texts with their ridiculous privacy controls.
The deal includes "leaving the brand intact" so it will be interesting to see what Facebook does with the company.
Will you be uninstalling? What do you use for messaging your friends?

I use primarily Hangouts, though for those that only do FB and not Google Ploos, I still send FB private messages, reach out to those on Twitter. I've only used WhatsApp a few times, but that was a few years ago.
16B+3B worth of employees.
muy sierto
bad news
