U.S. may block Facebook from integrating WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger
Thursday, December 19, 2019 IST
Earlier this year, reports revealed that Facebook’s co-founder Mark Zuckerberg planned to unify the infrastructure of all three of Facebook’s messaging services — WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. The idea was to operate all three services as standalone apps but on the same underlying messaging infrastructure. Naturally, this raised privacy concerns among many of the users, so Facebook outlined a new “Privacy-Focused Vision” for the three apps. This new privacy-focused vision focused on a few key principles, including user privacy, better encryption, interoperability, secure data storage, and reducing permanence. However, Facebook’s history of scandals and mishandling of user data might make it difficult for the company to undertake this unification process.
