Fuck Meta and Zuck. I wish I could stop using WhatsApp, as every other Meta product is out of my devices already.

I wish our government actually regulated these corporations so they are not able to have a tentacle in so many essential technologies.

All of the symptoms of the crushing power of techbro oligarchs are directly tied to failures of govt to regulate.

Every journey needs a first step.

Try to convince some of your contacts to use something else. Repeat until a large chunk of your contacts are available outside WhatsApp, and make yourself increasingly harder to access through WhatsApp and increasingly easier to access on your preferred alternative.
