I’m deleting WhatsApp

I have deleted my WhatsApp account.

WhatsApp is forcing users to share their personal data with Facebook.

I am now using Signal, a smaller encrypted message app.

Signal was created by the original owners of WhatsApp after they realised how Facebook was going to use their product.

Cheers.

How many shares do you own?

So, they sell WhatsApp to Facebook and start up a new WhatsApp?
I hope FB didn’t pay any goodwill?

No idea what the deal entailed with Facebook. I just know that Facebook are trying to extend their reach and capture data about you from all their acquisitions, forming a giant social media monopoly. This is not a good thing.

I’m more than happy to use a more private messaging system.

What everyone else does is up to each individual.

Signal is not bad, I use that too.
