Hi Mwara,

1.I believe  WhatsApp/Facebook has been pretty transparent about the Data
they will be collecting as seen, so what exactly are we collating?

2. Personally I called their bluff on the February deletion and shall
continue to do the same. I will not be accepting the new terms regardless
of my location at the time their policy comes into force.

Warm Regards,
