WhatsApp privacy policy update: Don’t fall for these false claims
WhatsApp is in the middle of a storm after its new privacy policy update, which suggests further data sharing with its parent company Facebook. Users have to accept the terms and service of this new policy by February 8, 2021, or delete their accounts. This change in privacy policy has also sparked an exodus of sorts to apps like Signal and Telegram.
The new policy update, by talking about data sharing with Facebook but without giving the details users need, has also given rise to a lot of false information. Ironically, WhatsApp itself is the main vector for disseminating most of these falsehoods.

Gmail CC and BCC
What are CC and BCC in emails? If you’ve ever sent an email, you’ve come across two fields right next to the “To” field: CC and BCC. Simply put, CC and BCC are two ways you can include more people as recipients in an email.
What does CC mean? In email sending, CC is the abbreviation for “carbon copy.” Back in the days before internet and email, in order to create a copy of the letter you were writing, you had to place carbon paper between the one you were writing on and the paper that was going to be your copy. Just like the physical carbon copy above, CC is an easy way to send copies of an email to other people. If you’ve ever received a CCed email, you’ve probably noticed that it will be addressed to you and a list of other people who have also been CCed.
What does BCC mean? BCC stands for “blind carbon copy.” Just like CC, BCC is a way of sending copies of an email to other people. The difference between the two is that, while you can see a list of recipients when CC is used, that’s not the case with BCC. It’s called blind carbon copy because the other recipients won’t be able to see that someone else has been sent a copy of the email.
