    I switched off an my parents, grandparents and siblings all switched to signal with me.
    I'm not saying everyone can or will, but it may be easier that we think.

    In many parts of the world Whatsapp is the dominate communication platform. My landlord sends me my utility bills through WhatsApp, as is my doctor's scheduling platform, and my vet's contact info, etc. It's basically impossible to do things without it.

    3 billion sources of revenue for meta, harvesting all that data, training AI, selling ads!

    So they can create data centers, push AI, influence politics, and in general have one person live a billionairs lifestyle.

    I think you just gave me 3 billion reasons NOT to use it. Are you going to continue to fund those things?

    Seriously this. Fuck Meta and shame on OP. There are much less evil VoIP apps available.

    Okay, come back to us when you figure out how to convince my entire family to download Signal or Telegram (which are seen as shady anyway) just because one person they know wants them to.

    It's not realistic.
