  Any tips on how do I get my parents banned from WeChat? Too much cringe media and blasting wechat short videos on loudspeaker.

  Should I just change their profile pic to the ROC flag for the lulz? We live in the US btw.

    Not entirely sure, I’ve never had to decouple someone from social media. My relatives are hopelessly addicted to Facebook.

    A suggestion would be to try to gently persuade them of the harms of WeChat, but not to be too pushy about it, could cause them to push back or use it on secret. If they care about their privacy, perhaps taking that route would be beneficial. Having some articles on hand that affirm your argument can help too.

      How do I even pushback? Its like the iMessages/Whatsapp of the Chinese Diaspora.

      Feels like a lost cause… 🤷‍♂️

      They even gave microphone permissions for voice messages (because typing is hard apparantly, maybe because its not 26 letters… idk).

      Its always fun to have at least TWO governments spying on you (China (via Wechat) and USA (via Google))
