  Yea, but if your kids participates in hobbies that share the info only via whatsapp, you can be the ignorant parent or the difficult parent or just go along…

    Love how people pretend to be edgy here.

      Because I have an opinion? If I’d care for “karma” I’d be on reddit lol. But dude, go with the flow and consume the default. Couldn’t care less about what you do.

    Luckily i got no kids with some weird hobbies that require WA. And if I’d be in that position, I would still not use it. I don’t like to be extorted, even not for “just an app”. Be part of the problem or the solution.

      It’s not just weird hobbies here, but basically all that are somehow organized.
      Also a lot of relevant school information is only shared within parent groups within WhatsApp.
      My complete WhatsApp-boycott lasted exactly until the first of my childs entered school… :-(

        Crap that surely sucks ass. Luckily i avoided having kids, so that’ll never be a problem. But that’s the problem with that crap, so many just using it because others do. And hence help keeping crap afloat 😒

  Tell me you’ve never been to the global south without telling me you’ve never been to the global south.

    I traveled to nearly every place on this planet. What does that have to do with WA and me being forced to use it?

      If you’ve traveled extensively you’d know that entire countries depend on WhatsApp for communication. It’s free to use for many people as part of promotions with their cellular providers. Even government offices will use WhatsApp instead of sms. It’s going to be incredibly difficult to get them to switch. So you saying “whoever uses this piece of shit software doesn’t care about privacy or anything else” shows your ignorance. Some people don’t really have a choice due to their situation.

        As if I’d care or check what apps people use when I travel. I travel for places not humans. Also I still wouldn’t care if everyone would use it. Then everyone couldn’t contact me. Unless they manage to install another app.

        So yes, I’m ignorant to bullshit. If you do it because “everyone does it”, that is your problem. So how dare one uses a phone that isn’t android or crapple or even not smart 😊
