All in all, nothing special. Nobody shares your messages/media.

The very block of text you quoted is terrifying for me. Why am I getting the impression there is no convincing you about how bad for our privacy this is?
Because half of what you said is wrong. Your original message states that WhatsApp shares contents of your messages, your location, photos of your kids, etc with third-parties.

> The contents of my messages, photos of my kids, who I talk to and when, my location. Is that enough for you?

Look, this is simply not truth. You are ex-aggregating things and create a panic out of nothing. If you don't like them knowing your location, fine, turn Location Services off. As for media, nobody cares about photos of your kids. It's a not monetizable content.
