Quitting Facebook wasn't difficult. I had nothing of value from it by the end. Quitting Instagram also wasn't difficult. Sadly quitting WhatsApp is proving very difficult as it is used by so many (at least here in Europe). I use Signal with most family members now but when I meet someone new and we exchange contact details it is always "you're on WhatsApp yes?" and never anything else. To be fair WhatsApp does work well and as far as I know is still end-to-end encrypted so I do not think Facebook are mining my messages but I could be wrong. It does bring me to the question of how WhatsApp is making money for Facebook or how they plan to monetise it without destroying it. A secure messaging platform is quite different to a trashy public social media platform like facebook.com.
