Yeah, well, at least it only affects important official documents. /s

Well, he’s unreachable.

Wasn’t Apple the main force behind killing Flash?

And what about the fact that they can’t guarantee any wifi speed because what they provide is Internet connectivity to the router, and wifi speed depends on the distance from the router, walls or floors in between, interference with other access points and radio emitters, etc?

How?

You should read the whole article. It’s really not that long.

Hmm. I see status updates but they are changes in people’s status, not stories, there’s only ever a handful of updates, and it just shows the names of the people who updated their WhatsApp status, which happens very rarely. There’s no feed there, nothing to scroll.

Below that I see Channels, a list of companies to follow, and an “explore more” button. Which I haven’t touched and don’t intend to. If that’s where the feed is… well, I don’t know what people expected, it’s obviously going to be corporate marketing.

The app is up to date. Maybe you’re right and they only deployed this in some countries. How long ago did this show up for you?

I have community, chat, updates, calls. None of them have anything related to stories or feeds.

Are you sure you’re talking about WhatsApp? I don’t see stories anywhere. Never saw anything like that. Maybe you’re talking about Snapchat or Instagram or something else?

I don’t see that. There’s no feed anywhere as far as I can tell. I just see my chats. I didn’t create any communities or join any channels. Is that where you see a feed?

They don’t have lax security. They use industry standard measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, salted passwords (they were caught without salt over a decade ago and fixed it), internal training on security, phishing simulations, the works. Your data is their business, they don’t want to lose it.

Wow, ok. Ignoring your apparent refusal to potential salary improvements, you can always turn off notifications, hibernate your account, close your account, or filter emails from LinkedIn, if it’s such a big deal to you.

WhatsApp doesn’t have an inbox. What are they talking about!?

Agreed, but that’s on the recruiters, not on the platform.

Thanks, it’s rare to find a well thought out answer in here like yours.

I agree that LinkedIn always did shady things to increase their user base. They used dark patterns to get access to your address book even as they got constant criticism for that, both externally and internally. One of their top product managers was actually proud of that, and said that they would have done more if possible.

But I very much doubt they actually sold their customer’s emails at any point. They have always been very protective of their customer’s data, fighting scrapers and limiting APIs. There’s no upside to selling your customers info. You’re undermining your own business by doing so.

My sarcasm detector is uncertain with this one.

How do you mean? Are you confusing recruiters reaching out to you (which is the whole point of the platform) with spammers?
