WhatsApp ban at the German Football Association! In the future, employees should be prohibited from using the messenger on their company cell phone.
Because internal WhatsApp processes have been leaked from international corporations time and again in the past, the DFB is now putting the brakes on.
“There are now many legal and data protection concerns because all contact details are sent to America – we as a company can no longer take responsibility for that. That is why we as management welcomed this measure,” explains DFB director Oliver Bierhoff at the sports buzzer.
Press spokesman Jens Grittner confirmed at the picture: “It is correct that the DFB will gradually switch to alternative messenger services for data protection reasons.”
However, only employees are affected by the WhatsApp ban, the national players can continue to chat when and how they want.
