Facebook owns What'sApp.

When he's my age Facebook will own 10,000 photos of him in addition to every word written on their sites that we write because that's the deal you make when you join.

I want to pay for What'sapp if there are guarantees everything is encrypted. Emails and photos are like post cards that the mailmen can look and read along the way but not if they are encrypted and you use a VPN.

So I'm not asking for trouble, I'm asking for a solution.

What do you think?
If you want a secure free video-sharing program, investigate VSee. Our older son, who refuses to use Facebook or other social media devices because of the privacy issues, uses VSee. It's an audio/video program, so you can see your grandson crawl all over the place (really cool, btw, that he's crawling at 7 months!). Our son is a tech wizard and knows what can happen; he's very concerned with privacy issues on the web.

Of course, the parents would have to install VSee as well. VSee - Wikipedia
