  It’ll be a service useful to you some day 🤷‍♂️

    what scenario are you imagining where any of meta's product offerings are useful to me?

    I always thought Facebook was useful to me. Until one day I decided to stop. A week later I deleted my account.
    Turns out Facebook wasn’t useful to me.
    And I can’t see a future where it will be.

    WhatsApp is currently useful to me.
    And considering EUs current ruling, I imagine there will be WhatsApp compatible apps soon. Besides, if meta leaves the EU, everyone will move to telegram or signal or whatever.

    So no, I don’t think it will be useful to me one day. And I’d be quite happy to see it go

      While WhatsApp is certainly useful, there are better alternatives, and a pullout would lead to bigger adoption of those. I think WhatsApp has its user base mainly because of inertia.

      All hypothetical, I don’t think Meta is gonna give up the EU market any time soon.
