I wonder how many people on Facebook are ranting about the privacy concerns of TikTok? 🤦‍♂️

Even better, how many Instagram users are ranting about the privacy of Facebook.. 🤣

@Burk The number of Instagram users proud of the fact they deleted their Facebook accounts is way too high

@cjkonecnik I deleted my Instagram account recently. My issue is WhatsApp. I’ve no idea how to get rid of it.

@Omrrc @cjkonecnik @Burk I’ve been trying to push Signal to folk. Like talking to the wall...

@hall Our family chat is on WhatsApp... We’re not leaving that.

@Omrrc same issue with my “rugby chaps”.

@maique Is WhatsApp as bad though?

The ironic thing for me is that, living in China, WeChat is ubiquitous and unavoidable. So many stuff goes through it.

@maique @Omrrc @Burk I got my family to move to Telegram when I left WhatsApp. I am the only contact on their Telegram. Saves me from WhatsApp forwards at least. Two weeks back, I was about to celebrate finally leaving Instagram and hence all of the Facebook apps when I was forced to download WhatsApp again for one work group. 🤦🏻

@maique Not much WhatsApp in my circle, however, everyone uses Facebook Messenger. I'll never be able to leave.

@hall @Burk @omrrc At the very least, WhatsApp uses E2E encryption. I trust Facebook is piping your connections, transactions, and usage data through an ad algorithm, but in the meantime at least your conversations are safe.

@maique As far as I remember, India went through phases. First, there was Viber craze, then Line and WeChat craze, till everyone settled upon WhatsApp. Each of those app phases lasted about 6 months. WhatsApp has dominated for the past 6 years or so.
