  At least in germany, nobody cares. We are using WhatsApp over here most of the time

    “Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!”

    WhatsApp is owned by Meta.

      We know, the EU also told meta to behave. Meta then threatened to leave and everyone was like “ok, when?”. Because we’ll just switch to the next best thing. So meta behaved. Sort of, it’s an ongoing thing.

        Meta’s not behaving in the slightest. Their entire business model is illegal under the GDPR. They will continue maliciously complying for as long as they can. Just like Apple. Fight tooth and nail for as long as it takes.
