This works in WA's favor in some contexts. I have a fresh wave of friends who tell me I should reinstall WA, because they "don't do data sharing in Germany".

I note that their terms still say that they do share data; they just have a PR line outside the terms that says they'll do it as soon as they "reach an agreement" with regulators.

I further note that their entire business model for WA depends on sharing data for advertising. Trusting them on their PR agent's word not to share data is the fox guarding the hen house.
