Verbatim, dateline today:

 "The Facebook-owned messenger that claims to have privacy coded into its DNA, 
  is giving its 2 billion plus users an ultimatum: agree to share their personal 
  data with the social network or delete their accounts."

o WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using the app
<https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/whatsapp-users-must-share-their-data-with-facebook-or-stop-using-the-app/>
 
 "The requirement is being delivered through an in-app alert directing users 
  to agree to sweeping changes in the WhatsApp terms of service. 
  Those who don't accept the revamped privacy policy by February 8 
  will no longer be able to use the app."

 "Some of the data that WhatsApp collects includes:
  User phone numbers
  Other peoples phone numbers stored in address books
  Profile names
  Profile pictures and
  Status message (including when a user was last online)
  Diagnostic data (collected from app logs)."
