Speaking as someone who lost an entire social circle because of conscientiously objecting to Facebook: yeah, good luck with that.

  > conscientiously objecting to Facebook Does that mean not having a WhatsApp account as well?
  • throwanem 5y ago
    Yes. Or Instagram, or any other Facebook-owned property as far as I know, and I do check. It's also why, last time I heard from a Facebook recruiter, I told him to make sure the next one to cold-call me had their general counsel's contact info handy so I'd know where to have my own attorney send the cease-and-desist. Seems to have had the intended effect, so far at least.

    Second this. Signal had some momentum with some of my contacts, but unfortunately i think they're all back on whatsapp.

      Yeah, I saw a sudden flurry of people getting Signal, but it faded and now we're back to WhatsApp.
