Facebook’s big WhatsApp privacy policy controversy from the first half of 2021 was one of the biggest of the year. Facebook told WhatsApp users in early 2021 that they would have to agree to new terms of service. The new policy would allow Facebook to acquire WhatsApp user data. It would be for e-commerce features that not all WhatsApp users might use. But all of them would be forced to agree to the changes. Except for those in the EU where Facebook wouldn't implement them. We then saw Facebook change its mind a few times on how it would enforce the privacy policy. It ultimately chose not to block WhatsApp access for those who did not accept the new terms. And, in the future, Facebook will finally make the privacy policy optional.
