Elon Musk has asked people to use the privacy-focussed messaging app Signal after WhatsApp forced users to agree to their new terms and conditions.

The Richest Man Alive and Tesla boss tweeted, “Use Signal” on Thursday after the term ‘WhatsApp’ trended on Twitter as a result of the app’s new privacy policy.

WhatsApp is due to force their users to agree to the new policy by 8 February if they wish to continue using the app.

The new terms will mean that private data collected by WhatsApp, including a user’s IP address  and phone number, will be shared with Facebook.

IS this enough to stop you using WhatsApp? If you already use FB, is this even a issue for you?
