Well, all the new options actually improve privacy, so what's the issue?

If u believe "Facebook is" and "Facebook was" are different, then it will become the same with whatsapp

Well I wasn't comparing it to fb, rather commenting on new features in the latest update and their impact on privacy. Personally, I'm against these changes.

PS: regarding is/was of fb, being there from 2008 tells me the story very well.

WhatsApp have brought in some rather good privacy features.
But.. the only problem is FB.

Since now FB owns WhatsApp no matter how good it becomes it will never be actually good for users.

Tricky!

The good thing about the new setting of last seen, etc is that those who choose not to show, they also won't be able to see other's. Good job, khoon ke badle khoon, may ke badle june

When you say NEW, how new? A month/ 3 months / 6 months?

They made service expiration and make a licence pay, so they won't

I'm impressed by nandu's troll talent.

Flame war against FB.

like everyone else thinking of privacy issues.... and its $19 billion I think

It is like Mark Zuckerberg what's app account validity was coming to an end so he thought I should buy WhatsApp for saving my money on its validity extension.
