It blows me away how people will fixate on privacy in one place when they have already given up more elsewhere. The Canadian COVID app is an example of this. People don't want to give up their data for an app like that when they have already accepted numerous companies tracking way more.

If you have a phone, your private data is not private.

Maybe your friends are just alt-right and want to avoid prosecution?
Can’t say. You’d have to ask the people complaining. I don’t use WhatsApp. I am only passing along the info from other people. I can’t speak to whether they should have known about all this already.
