  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 😊
