  I use whatsapp for communicating with a few groups of people who are refusing to switch over. I’m not getting them to move, they’re a mix of tech illiterate, ignorant, or just unwilling. These groups have important annoucements in them, that I’m unable to receive any other way. Sometimes there’s just no way around services like these.

  I do my best to protect myself (no proprietary facebook code ever runs on my main device), and keep personal information I provide to a minimum (as I don’t trust Facebook’s E2EE claims). There’s not much more I can do besides not receiving important announcements.

  Oh yes, let me cut myself completely from society and 90% of people I’ve ever met. That will tell Zuckerberg!

  Not everyone uses this shit willingly. I’m forced to because of my job, for instance.
