Elon Musk appeal to switch from Whatsapp to Signal has inspired thousands of funny memes on social media
WhatsApp, the encrypted messaging application that boasts a privacy-focused service, will force users to share personal data with Facebook, the company that owns the service, Business Insider reports.
In a message sent to users on Wednesday, WhatsApp says they must let Facebook collect data from the app, including phone numbers, locations and more. If users do not agree by February 8, they will no longer have access to WhatsApp.
As a result of this announcement, several people have recommended using applications such as Signal or Telegram.
"Signal and Telegram are now better alternatives if you are concerned about your privacy," TechCrunch editor Mike Butcher wrote on Twitter. He pointed out the differences between WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram in terms of data collection.
Elon Musk also issued this recommendation: "Use Signal." After that the internet exploded with memes, Bemorepanda got them all.
Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014, and in 2016 offered users the chance to give up sharing data with Facebook.
