To the unfounded fear of some users of the application WhatsApp, now we must add the joke and desire for controversy of some web pages that they seek to add a few visits to the account of false news This is the case of information that has traveled the networks this weekend social networks stating that starting next day April 1 Facebook will create and publish an album with all the photos that the user has sent via WhatsApp Data that are totally false and that do not even require official confirmation given the surreal nature of the information itself.
The news comes from the web page of an Internet radio. A piece of news that already states in its headline that WhatsApp photos will appear on the social network Facebook The information also claims to come from the prestigious magazine Time, which contains the statements of Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, and his intentions to publish said photographs on the social network without any level of privacy All of this will be applied as of next April 1st and unstoppably. Completely false
This is a new hoax that only serves to increase the fear that some users are experiencing after the purchase of WhatsApp by Facebook However, its managers, Zuckerberg (Facebook) and Koum (WhatsApp), have made an effort in recent weeks to affirm that the operation of both services is completely independent, allowing the messaging application to retain its brand, its address and its ownpolicies
Thus, informed users will know that privacy continues to be one of the points that the social network created by Zuckerberg, despite recent spying scandals. Similarly, Koum has stated on several occasions that, after its purchase, WhatsApp does not nothing varies, continuing with its policy of charging annually, avoid the and work to offer a simple and direct communication service to unite people from all mobile platforms.
That is why this hoax is nothing more than a crude attempt to get the attention and unfounded concern of a user base that should not fear because the photos that they have sent through the messaging service are published without their permission on the social network Facebook and, to make things worse, without any level of privacy. A supposed piece of news that does not stand on its own and that, moreover, loses all reason for being after citing as a source another web page of viral news that doesn't even has this information published.
Again, another hoax about the most used and widespread communication services that take advantage of the lack of knowledge of users to create social alarmand get virality. Nor does it help that other social networks such as Twitter,accounts with large numbers of followers, share, out of ridicule or fear, this false news.
