WhatsApp sued by German consumer group

The Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband or the Federation of German Consumer Organisations claims WhatsApp’s changed privacy terms in August are illegal.

Back in the summer the messaging platform passed a statement that it starts to transfer some data to Facebook’s social network. “Each consumer must be able to decide on his own which personal data is revealed and how it is used”, the group said.

We remind you that Germany is the only country in EU without nationwide Google Street View due to request from the very same organization.
