This is unless he typed message saying he want to divorce his wife. If he never typed divorce, then Facebook will not know and will show other ads that he typed on Facebook.

Nothing is free. It costs money to operate WhatsApp. They should let users opt for (i) a subscription model ($2 a year, for example) or (ii) an advertising model (free but without PDPA protection).

I am happy I am getting less nonsensical calls / emails these days after putting myself on DNC list. Imagine a world without an "unsubscribe" button.

There is, like YouTube has subscriptions based that if you pay money for subscriptions, you will not receive any ads. Those who watch it for free have nothing to complaint about when the ads show on the YouTube video. 

 

Facebook is also showing ads, will wastapp go into subscription based in future? I not working there, so don't know, let's wait and see..

had a damn hard time trying to block pesky property agents from spamming my phone with properties advertisements and etc, which is how DNC came about 

 

now WhatsApp is trying the same thing by forcing advertisements to me again 

 

$$$$$this would circumvent the DNC function as you willingly allow whatsapp to flood you with advertisement $$$$$

 

 

 

 

 

 

what if,  some bros keep on getting such advertisements from whatsapp,    how to sexplain to spouse🤣

 

audio video magazine is it

Whatsapp started with a subscription model plan (after achieving network effect) but FB's revenue are from advertisement. 

But with so many free messenger service and the entitlement mentality of most people, the subscription model is not likely to work. Need to monetize data to make money and cover cost.

If you are somebody, your competitors/ enemies will definitely pay a lot of $$$ to access your chats. Will your chat log be sent to NSA or Beijing with just a call? Likely, so I don't know what LHL and our cabinet use to communicate. Lol

at one time, whatsapp want to charge US$1 I think, after 1 yr.

but that never happen.

Messaging app Signal experiencing technical difficulties

Quote

REUTERS: Messaging app Signal said on Friday it was experiencing technical difficulties and working to restore the service.

Signal has seen a rise in downloads following a controversial change in rival messaging app WhatsApp's privacy terms, which required WhatsApp users to share their data with both Facebook Inc and Instagram.

I have been typing I am a lesbian all day on WA

so when can I expect FB to recommend good looking

young lesbians as my new friends?

I have been waiting all day and still nothing yet.

Especially ones that do ballet?

And clean shaven.
