But do they need to warn you? I always assume that the information I send to a server is being stored forever by its owner, unless he tells me otherwise. If Whatsapp said it wouldn't share user info and dit it without informing users then yes it should be punished for it and prevented from doing so. But as far as I understand what happened was a TOS upgrade. Don't like it, go to Telegram.

Think about it this way: You get a product, its free to use. The Company running the service is telling you, they wont share your data ever. You get reliant to the product, everyone uses it. Then they start sharing your data.
Then their breaking a contract and should be prosecuted for it. But I don't remember that.
