MOSCOW, May 12. / TASS /. Roskomnadzor warned Russian WhatsApp users about insufficient protection of personal data. TASS was informed about this in the press service of the department.
“Roskomnadzor draws the attention of Russian WhatsApp users to the fact that since 2014 the messenger has already been transferring a significant amount of user data to Facebook. Russian citizens should clearly understand the risks associated with the transfer of their personal data to foreign companies. Security standards for storing and processing personal data in each country is different.
