Do you know how much work goes on building an Point to Point & Multi-Point chat application and to add furher for the app to work fine you need to maintain database, servers, etc thus cost to be beared by the company is very high and don't forget the maintenance costs.
The number of users grow, infrastructure grows and again the cost to be beared by the company Increases.
Even though there is this much of spending to bear, and no ads to earn money. then Why did FaceBook Acquired the WhatsApp.
WhatsApp, WeChat, Viber, etc all fall under the category of Data Mining Companies.
Akhil Neelam (Blogger. RTI enthusiast. Interested in Diplomatic Affairs ) says,
" A one liner explains it all : ' WhatsApp is not their product. It is YOU'.
They sell your personal information to MNCs and show advertisements based on your intrests.
For instance, now that WhatsApp is a subsidiary of Facebook, WhatsApp messages which reflects our likes, dislikes and depict our prefernces are backed up on there servers and is used by Facebook for User Specific Target Ads(by which FaceBook makes money:) )
After this aquisition, we can find our WhatsApp contacts being shown as Friend Suggestions on FaceBook.
Hence, it is clear that WhatsApp shares data with its new parent FaceBook.
FaceBook aquired WhatsApp for 19 Billion USD, only because FaceBook think 'Over Data is Worth it'.
These Companies play with our data and do all sorts of analytics and come up with what we want.
The purpose of this blog is to Show that YOUR DATA IS NOT SAFE..
