Flood of messages, asking me to go to WhatsApp settings, accounts and uncheck the box that says I am sharing my WhatsApp account information (which means phone number) with Facebook.
Even without Facebook and WhatsApp, my (and possibly yours too) phone number is already with many random strangers, especially in call centres, if one goes by the unsolicited messages and phone calls we get.
Social networking sites and e-commerce sites already have tapped a lot of our personal information.
So, why panic and uncheck that box?
Is anything disastrous going to happen?
