What do #LinkedIn and #WhatsApp have in common?
(Yes, they are both horrible opaque tools with no respect for user #privacy, usability or web standards that we wish we could ignore altogether but we can't because they are so popular. I mean apart from that.)
Answer: in both cases, one can hide a good part of their profile and their activity by tweaking the settings appropriately and by not giving in to threats of missing features in a passive-aggressive tone.
@tripu More important, corral them into a "Work Profile" (via "Shelter") or a second user. Both speaking about Android or better Custon-ROM. And import to that profile oder user only those contacts who have an accout by the respective data vampire. Thus the innocent clean contacts are protected.
