At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat
WhatsApp's a scam, anti-libre software.
Yes but it is still better than SMS.
Saying it's secure feeds their scam. At least we don't pay for it like SMS.
You still pay for SMS? Wtf, what country do you live in? Most postpaid mobile plans these days only charge for data usage. In which case, your still paying to use WhatsApp.
I did not say it was secure, I actually spend a lot of time explaining to people that it is secure and they should switch to Signal. However, I will not tell them to go back to SMS for the reason aforementioned.
Saying it’s ~~secure~~ encrypted feeds their scam. At least we don’t pay for it like SMS.
