"HELLO, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FLAKY HAIR, I'M THE BEST SHAMPOO FOR THAT :)!"

It was only a matter of time: When Facebook took over the Whatsapp messenger service two years ago, it was clear that user data would soon be used more for marketing purposes.

Now the time has come: In the near future advertising customers of Facebook will be able to contact unfiltered users via Whatsapp. Have you chatted with a friend about looking for a new apartment? Then, in the worst case, look forward to the friendly home savings contract, which could soon contact you obtrusively again to get into conversation.

YOU HAVE TO DO THAT NOW!

To ensure that the whole thing is legally protected, Whatsapp has brutally changed its terms of use - who accepts these automatically agrees to the spam via Whatsapp. Luckily you can avert that for a few more days: Until 25.9. You may object to the use of your data for promotional purposes.

THIS GOES VERY FAST IN THESE THREE STEPS:

1. Go to "Settings" in Whatsapp menu

2. Select the item "Account"

3. Remove the tick at the point "Share my account info".
