A good friend of mine, his wife, his parents and their extended family all decided to (and did) delete their Facebook as a result of this furor. I deleted mine after a few months of first making it, and I’d say all told I know more than a dozen other people who either never had them, or deleted them. They’re not using Messenger or WhatsApp. Some use email chains, others are using Signal, and only two reverted to Facebook.
I guess we know different people? It’s probably one of the challenges when talking in terms of anecdotes.
- bertil 9y agoWhat worries me is that email chains (and WhatsApp in many cases) are significantly worst at keeping disinformation at bay: - Hardly anyone writes back the recipients, often copied in the different layers of the email, so disinformation spreads without being corrected; but - Spammers gladly collect the emails through those anyway.
