Last week they were fined $270m by the EU for claiming they were anonymizing user data like phone numbers when they weren't.
looks like WhatsApp is appealing, so not a case close.
> noting that WhatsApp did not properly inform EU citizens how it handles their personal data, including how it shares that information with its parent company.
I'm not sure I understand these kind of claims to begin with. WhatsApp is facebook, why would they have to warn users that the data is shared?
How they handle private data, especially if they lie about what they're doing, does really matter. End-to-end encryption doesn't mean anything if they secretly keep the a key able to decrypt it, which is basically what they were getting fined for.
