Why is anyone still using FB/Whatsapp/Instagram? It seems the vast majority just don't care at all about privacy.

Why is anyone still using FB/Whatsapp/Instagram? It seems the vast majority just don't care at all about privacy.
- WA 8y agoWhatsApp: Because the market share outside the US is insane. Germany has 70% Android users and they don’t use iMessage. Nor any of the other ones unfortunately.
- dqhAR 8y agoToo big to avoid. Data leaks happen to every tech company. As users/customers, won't have knowledge of the leaks unless they are publicly reported. How can you "socialize" these days without using at least one of these internet social/media platforms? Ways to avoid givin them your data are either to be totally reclusive or to be a tech geek who relies only on niche tech products that aren't mainstream. What if they are used as highly valuable networking platforms for your job? Some people live off some kind of business model taking advantage of the sites. Also they work hard at maintaining their audience captivated and engaged.
