I am fucking scared of the mass surveilence nightmare direction that the internet and the world as a whole is going towards… C2PA, france hacking itself into citizen phones, the UK anti encryption law, EU’s chat control, etc. Im also sick of and hate the “you will own nothing and be happy” mentality that corpos try to push. I dont wanna know how the world will look like in 5-10 years.

    Lol no they’re not. It’s a small company and I know everyone. I have to use WhatsApp to communicate with various 3rd party vendors in Europe because that’s the standard there. That’s all.

      Run Whatsapp in a sandbox on a separate profile with minimal permissions. Disable it when you don’t actively need it. Only use the absolute minimum of meta services, and only provide the minimum of your personal information.

      And for google use a new blank account, never connect it to an account that has any of your personal information.

      Oh shit. Yeah I kinda forgot Whatsapp is an international standard of communication. That’s still different than requiring you to run it in on your personal devices through.
