Oha, ja dann — Positiv für uns doch wie geht es nun spezifisch für uns weiter? Sollen wir nun WhatsApp & Co. dankbar sein?

Yes! #WhatsApp is now going to show ads. Interestingly, they actually asked users for consent; I doubt many will agree to see ads.

Either way, this is another step toward building WhatsApp’s advertising business.

With continued AI integration, I expect WhatsApp to become a new hub for ad marketing, which should bring Meta more revenue.

Maybe next they’ll try what Telegram is doing and sell “Stars.”

Content warning:Onderwijsstaking, FNV, gebruik van WhatsApp

---

Kan iemand me zeggen waarom vakbonden (FNV) die voor een staking in het hoger onderwijs oproepen mensen vragen zich via #WhatsApp te organizeren? (Verhaal van Zuckerberg/Meta en hun steun voor Trump).
Ik vind dat problematisch en onnodig.
Gebruik gewoon #Signal, mensen hebben dit gewoon op hun telefoons tegenwoordig en die 1/3 (inschatting op basis van mijn collegas op werk) die het nog niet hebben gaan het dan installeren.
