Expert Solution

This is happening at a mass level in current era where the customers information is always at risk. No one reads the user agreement fully before signing up for any schemes or even on any social media platforms. It happened with my colleague on whatsapp. His girlfriend was asking about his ex on whats app and they had elaborate discussion on the same and he showed one photograph of her on whatsapp. Now what happens on next day is completely shocking, his girlfriend gets the friend suggestion of his ex on facebook. Remember conversation they had was on whatsappa and they had no mutual friends as well. Whats app claims to have end to end encryption but that is not fully true.

He could do nothing at this level with this case but we as the users needs to take certain precautions rather than using it carelessely. Do not share personal information on social platforms especially phone no's, bank details etc.
Read offer document carefully before investing, buying anything very important. Users need to be very attentive in this current scenario to avoid this to happen. What happened with facebook currently, we all know.

If you need more information, do let me know :)
