My particular case was not related to WhatsApp (OP of the tweet here) as I had never installed or used WhatsApp until yesterday.
>> You know, you're going on about the data that fb has... and yet you've just shared other peoples names all over the internet. (Unless you've changed them, as the font seems different in the photo?)
This is the problem I have with the #deletefacebook thing, deleting facebook and even facebook disappearing all together is not going to make the world more secure, as most people seem to believe. There are many more companies that have data about you, for example did you ever wondered how many websites you use are using jquery from code.jquery.org cdn?
The info shared by OP might not affect any of the parties involved. So does most of the crap facebook "leaked". But what if that info is affecting somebody?
You might be pointing out that laws could be enacted to prevent this from happening. It's a fact that laws cannot keep up with technology.
The solution is to educate yourself about how online works, about what data means and then educate the persons around you about this.
Why do you think this?
I for one am happy as hell that they are including this, and I don't think we should be implying it was a mistake or that it's wrong. If you want them to export all their data about you, they should export all their data about you, and it looks like they are.
I don't think they are exporting all their data about us.
Because the calls were not between that person, they were between two other people, that's kind of personal information that should only have been exported to the parties involved? Privacy and all that good stuff.
I think one of us is misunderstanding the tweet here.
I read it as these calls are between OP and OP's Partner's mother. Meaning OP is a first-party in all of the calls. OP may not have been the source of the data, but OP was involved in the data, so the data was revealed to OP when he exported all of it.
