Why is whatsapp exempt, its from the same data hoarding company

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say mostly practical reasons. It's hard to get everyone in your contacts list to switch to Signal or other options. WhatsApp is so widely used that it's hard to eliminate it completely without losing touch with friends or family. We're trying, and hopefully with time enough people will switch that WhatsApp can fall to the wayside

But Facebook owns WhatsApp?

ETA: sorry for the triple comment, I guess my internet was stuttering for a sec and then they all went through at once

yes i know but Facebook can't access the message you sent via whatsapp but they can still access the metadata so i still don't use it
