Meta accused of ‘massive, illegal’ data collection operation by European consumer rights groups. | CNN Business::European consumer rights groups are accusing Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, of carrying out a “massive” and “illegal” operation of collecting data from hundreds of millions of its users in the region.
And yet Europeans will flock in droves to get everyone and their grandmother to make WhatsApp their default messaging app.
It was the default before Facebook bought it, switching now is a pain in the ass
Which is exactly why Facebook bought it.
I know, I’m just getting a little tired of people blaming individuals for still using Whatsapp
True. Well, it’s dystopia for us then.
I tried so hard getting my family to switch to Signal and they just won’t. My mother did though! But we kept having calling issues so we had to switch back to whatsapp for that. Eventually we only used whatsapp again. Nobody else uses Signal and since they removed the functionality to receive text messages in the Signal app, i just removed it. It sucks because i want to use it.
I had the same issue, managed to get my 78 year old mother to swap then they removed text, so now no one in the family will swap.
