| I LOL'd. This is why you don't let AI write anything. It's great for giving a gist or summarizing/categorizing things... but this. I ... wow. > I object to the processing of my personal data, including but not limited to my contact list, messages, location data, device information, and any other data that WhatsApp collects for purposes that are not essential to the provision of the service It's literally a messaging app! You literally need ALL of those things just to send messages. Else how do you send a message without processing (aka, routing) it? How do I share a live location without processing my location data? > Specifically, I am concerned about the processing of my data for targeted advertising, data sharing with third-party entities, and any other processing activities that are based on WhatsApp's legitimate interest rather than my explicit consent. OK, so what. Sending a message is literally sharing data with a third party. There's no way around it, there will always be AT LEAST 3 parties: the sender, whatsapp, and the recipient. Like come on. Are they supposed to ask you on every send: "do you consent with sharing your message with the recipient?" LOL > I am concerned about the potential misuse of my data, the risk of data breaches, and the sharing of my data with entities that I have not provided consent to. For some reason, I assume they're concerned with this too and go to great lengths to protect their infrastructure. > The aggregation and analysis of my data for profiling and targeted advertising purposes infringe upon my right to a private life and can lead to unwanted and intrusive advertisements. LOL. So counting the number of people who do X where the count is in the hundreds of thousands to a millions somehow endangers your right to privacy? I can't wait to hear about this one. > the sharing of my data with third-party entities without my explicit knowledge or consent Your habits of drunk dialing on Whatsapp (which is the only way I can really think of involving a third party without your consent, though I guess butt-dialing counts too) ... are not their problem. > prioritize transparency and user control in its data processing activities. Yeah, if they're sending messages without telling you, then I suppose you'd probably want to stop using that service. This message was a good laugh, and all the more reason NOT to let AI do ANYTHING meaningful. |
