WhatsApp's Latest Privacy Policy - Let's raise the voice for the root cause "#TheDataProtectionLaw" instead of curing the symptom

-

 Hello friends! Today we are going to talk about WhatsApp, yes "WhatsApp". These days you might have heard about the new privacy policy of WhatsApp right!

So my dear friends, what do you think is that the only WhatsApp which is about to collect your data and will gonna share it with Facebook and other 3rd parties when needed...NO!

There are so many apps that collect your data and even share it with the third parties when required yes for commercial purposes, and you yourself give that permission to them by clicking 'yes' on their accept terms and conditions while installing the application, because you are bound to click on it if you want to use the app, only then you can proceed ahead. 

Just like Facebook do that but still, you are using it right, Instagram do that but still you are on it, and many games, these free software available on the internet, antivirus, VPNs and many other apps even the essential ones which you use daily what do you think they are doing social service to you by providing their high-end services that too in FREE, yes there are some software apps which are genuinely authentic means they are open-source developed by open source communities they are safe and they are good but less in numbers, and there are also many other apps huge in numbers they collect your data such as your hardware information, your network, your pictures/videos have access to your gallery contacts, your location n number of things and there are n number of apps literally.

Then why there is so much gossiping around on WhatsApp these days, why there is so much concern now? because it sounds something current trend and cool you know, following the crowd blindly see everybody is doing around, let's do this then and let's switch to other apps, you know the current trend swag in terms "see how much we show concern about our privacy, let's get unite and show some power of unity see we are the youth Indian youth".

Oh, come on guys!! if you are actually concerned about your data and privacy then the apps you are currently using in your cell phone then it is not gonna be there not even half of it, if you have read its accept terms and policies carefully while installing it and if you have been concerned too much and the kind of swag you are showing being a liberal civilized citizen of India then there would have been data protection law exists even though in India as well just like many other countries, do you know in Europe people aren't gossipping about this WhatsApp's latest privacy policy, because they don't even care but that doesn't mean they are not concerned about their privacy thing it is because they have a data protection and a privacy law in their country called GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which states that in European countries any application just like WhatsApp is bound to protect their data and is not gonna share it to anyone not facebook, no 3rd party, and not even to their government and all that just because of that data protection law.

So friends, I'm not here to support/protest against WhatsApp or any other application just want to convey a message that instead of curing symptoms please look for the root cause, being united is a good thing but if you actually want to get united, then please look for the permanent solution instead, we need a data protection law in our country India as well just like one in Europe and not an alternative solution by switching from one app to another app which is again just curing the symptom.

Anyway nevermind nothing personal, just a thought #opinion

Thank you!!!

My Story So Far... :)

"Alis Volat Propriis " - It is a famous Latin phrase and my favorite one, which implies "She flies with her own wings" , it gives me a lot of strength whenever I feel low in my life as "the most important part of living life on our own terms is having a self-belief and faith in the intelligent power that created us". Every day we confront new challenges, we concurred some, we make mistakes, we learned the lessons and then gear up ourselves again the next morning with a new hope, as a success story builds overtime during the journey called life, we meet many obstacles in our way, but if we really believe in something, then no matter what troubles we confront, we humans are competent enough to concur anything in this world, I still, remember the day when my tuition teacher told me that "Nothing is impossible for us as a human, as God made us capable enough to achieve anything we want if we genuinely believe in something" and at that time I was j...

The Education System Of Our Country INDIA

-
Here's the first and the foremost critical issue of our nation "the education framework of India" according to my opinion, in our nation, there is an exam system, not the education system..isn't it?? what do you think so? well, that's pretty much true. Here in our country a lot of competition in each field whether it's engineering, medical, administration, humanities etc...100% cut-offs, a lot of competition in the medical entrance exams,IIT-JEE's ,CAT etc, why there is a lot of competition? why too much cut-offs well the reason is obvious to us, since there's a shortage of government and reputed institutes in our country, private institutes are all over in each area but with an awfully high charge, then what about a fiscally destitute student who indeed can't afford their educational cost. So the only alternative left to the monetarily destitute student is to ponder as hard as much to compete with those wealthy students whom are from a great m...
