The wording of WhatsApp’s new privacy policy has always been artificially confusing and confusing since its introduction, and it seems that this will not change anytime soon. The new policy was finally launched on May 15.
Facebook had previously stated that although it would not delete accounts that did not accept the new policy, these accounts would eventually lose access to some features. Now, just a few weeks later, the company has changed its mind.
Facebook announced its new WhatsApp privacy policy as early as January, which triggered people’s concerns about privacy and began a large-scale migration to alternative platforms such as Telegram and Signal. The number of users who abandon the platform seems to have put Facebook into a damage control mode, and this is the beginning of the chaos.

In the latest development, it turns out that Facebook will not restrict users who do not accept its new privacy policy. The company said in a statement that it made the decision after recent discussions with various authorities and privacy experts.
However, this seems to be an interim decision, and the company noted that it currently has no plans to restrict WhatsApp features for these users. Instead, Facebook said it will continue to remind users from time to time about updates and when people choose to use related optional features, such as communicating with companies that are receiving Facebook support.
The move seems to be to appease those governments and users who have opinions about the new privacy policy. For example, India recently asked the company to retract its new privacy policy, and the country’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology claimed that it violated a number of laws.
