Tip of the day: WhatsApp can’t have your contacts if you’re antisocial (Mr. Robot kind of antisocial) and got no contacts (insert meme with the smiling man pointing to his own head temples)
Seriously, whenever I need to contact someone (often businesses) using Whatsapp, I do so without adding said number to contact list. Rather, I use a F-Droid app capable of spawning a new WhatsApp conversation with a number specified through a text box. Not sure for how long this approach will work, but it’s been working so far. I have no contacts so WhatsApp can do whatever they want with my contact list because it’s empty. Hah!

IMHO, having Linux Foundation and the organizations behind Linux components (such as systemd) to follow the same steps that of IBM back in 1930s (similarly, IBM was just “following orders”, amirite?) wouldn’t be wise, either.
