WhatsApp removes Accounts Centre explanation about business messaging and data use from EU privacy policy

Four sentences were removed from the 'Updates To Our Policy' section. They explained that adding WhatsApp to Accounts Centre does not change whether Meta uses your information when you message or share info with businesses, and that optional features are explained in the app. Nothing was added in their place, so the diff shows no change to actual data practices.
