The WhatsApp Privacy meme gained massive traction in early 2021 following the announcement of a mandatory update to the app's terms of service, which raised concerns about data sharing with Facebook. Users reacted with a wave of skepticism, creating memes that depicted Mark Zuckerberg personally monitoring private conversations or portrayed the mass migration of users to alternative apps like Telegram and Signal. The meme serves as a satirical commentary on the modern surveillance state and the perceived irony of privacy on social media platforms owned by large corporations. It remains a staple for discussing digital security, corporate overreach, and the often-ignored terms and conditions users agree to daily.
