If only people cared. Sadly, they don't.
Source: am one of probably three people in the country that refuse to use Meta CRAPWARE. And thus, very lonely.
I refuse to use anything Meta has its claws on.
Some folk do. I've managed to convince at least 10 of my friends and family to install Signal and/or Threema.
It's not just friends; I cannot do my work in my past three jobs without WhatsApp, because that's how ingrained it is. And they were varied jobs too.
Client interactions? WhatsApp
External stakeholders? WhatsApp
Public enquiries? WhatsApp
No WhatsApp, no job, no income. That's how ingrained it is.
Me too and we’re very happy with it.
Even my employer is making us only use Threema work.
