“WhatsApp's new privacy policy is primarily unethical.
They recruited users on the same terms, and now they have put everyone in front of the fact that the conditions will be different - or lose your accounts, ”TASS quotes him.
Gorelov recalled that a law has come into force, according to which the operator of personal data is obliged to ask the user's consent to transfer them to third parties.
“WhatsApp does this formally.
But in an ultimatum form, not giving the user a choice.
In my opinion, this is a violation of the law, ”said the deputy.
Earlier, Roskomnadzor warned Russian WhatsApp users that since 2014 the messenger has been transmitting a significant amount of user data to Facebook.
In January, WhatsApp postponed until May 15 to update the user agreement, which added a clause on the transfer of personal data to Facebook.
