The Eternal ambiguity of controlling user data - The value perspective ...Did I WhatsApp this !


Firstly thanks for the overwhelming response for the previous post .I am humbled indeed with the
mail responses I have got.I have tried to reply to most of them , pardon me if I have missed replying to anyone .

A different taste for my readers today with respect to topic - No Philosophy ,No reviews and No marketing of  business either which I any ways don't do here !This is strictly a personal blog for

"Life As It Is" readers .

So what has WhatsApp done for itself.Has it created a sense of insecurity with its users or its business as usual and people will "always" forget it after sometime.Do they don't know their data is already public !

 What WhatsApp missed here was it created insecurity by creating the ambiguity .It is one thing to be diplomatic in one way ,but when it comes to topics of privacy you need to come out clean.
So did they miss the trick?

When you make comments like sharing user  data for  "Other Purposes",its not about being politically incorrect here.

You are simply loosing the trust of the user.

User trust is more important than user data and the philosophy of the company should always focus on that .

Business is an outcome of that trust . Sustainability of business relies only on this point .


Is there a solution for this user controlled privacy ? Well, wait for my next post where I  will Go Bezirk on the same ! Maybe in some other forum...


Till then ...
