New WhatsApp terms already have a final date
To a greater or lesser extent, we are sure that all users of WhatsApp are more or less aware of its new and controversial terms and conditions of use. And it is that, since the effects that these new terms would have were known, there has been quite a bit of controversy and many users have fled WhatsApp
Although a modification of terms and conditions, in principle, should not be a concern, in this case it is quite worrying. This is basically because WhatsApp will start sharing our data in the app with Facebook, the owner of the instant messaging app.
WhatsApp users in the EU can accept these new terms without fear thanks to the GDPR
As we tell you, since this became known, there was a lot of controversy. So much so that from WhatsApp they had to issue an official response clarifying the new terms and, even, delaying the date on which they were going to come into force, which, initially, was to be February 8, 2021
This date has been moved to May 15, 2021 and it appears this will be the final effective date of the new terms and conditions of use of WhatsApp And, in case we decide not to accept them, it seems that we will have consequences.

As you can imagine the consequence will be the impossibility of continuing to use the application.But, it will not be automatic, but WhatsApp will make it so that whoever does not accept the terms will not be able to continue using certain functions until they lose access to the account.
We understand that this is done as a warning, since WhatsApp will begin by displaying the obligation to accept the terms to continue using the app. But, if we still do not accept them, although we will be able to use some functions in the app, we will not be able to read messages or send them.
In view of this, if we want to continue using WhatsApp totally, it seems that we will have no choice but to accept the terms and conditions. And it should be remembered that, users from the European Union, we have no risk in accepting them since thanks to the RGPD, they will not be able to cross our data with Facebook .
