Yeah I am aware of that one. They postponed the update, so your link is not actually relevant in terms of operational iOS phones right now. Let's see what happens in the next months.

#83We have a moral obligation to stop using facebook products. Ask yourself where do you draw the line? If you don’t think facebook has crossed it, then you don’t know enough about facebook.

#84People seeing this post are split to 2 groups: - Those who didn't accept the new terms are glad to use the opportunity to virtue-signal. - Those who accepted the new terms are afraid to admit so. I'll bite the bullet: I accepted the terms. If you want more honest opinions, you should probably post an anonymous poll.
This is not a poll. The interesting part about this post is why people accept it or what they do in order to not accept it. You did not contribute anything interesting by saying "I accepted the terms".

I accepted it because it's more convenient than dismissing the popup every time I want to send someone a message.

#90I haven't. I also moved WhatsApp into isolated user profile using Island to restrict the access to my data. On top of that changed permissions: no microphone, no file system, no camera access.
Shelter does the same thing, with the added bonus of both being FOSS and available on FDroid.
