WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a messaging program that has revolutionized conversations via mobile phone, but not everything was going to be good and there are a series of things we don't know and for which we could end up in front of a judge.

For example, adding people to groups without their consent. That's what happened in Boecillo, a town in Valladolid, where a councilor created a group and invited more than 250 people to communicate news and updates about the municipality.

Faced with the confusion generated, one of the users did not take well at all that their phone was exposed to others and reported the case to the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

The result? Una resolución condenatoria contra el consistorio, pero en este caso sin sanción económica (un alivo, por otro lado, ya que las multas por incumplimiento de LOPD pueden llegar a superar los 300.000 Euros).

Así que ya lo sabéis, si no queréis sustos, pedid siempre permiso para añadir a gente a los grupos de WhatsApp.
