> people you don’t know, at multiple companies can read all of your messages, without any hacking or special technology. Your chats are there to read, maybe even by accident, like a postcard passing through a post office. As opposed to Facebook seeing my messages and selling data? What am I not understanding here? You can’t have privacy and still communicate through any form of instant messaging. Don’t tell me about some oss platform that no one uses. I text because I don’t like social networking sites. If my message fails to send, I get an error. I don't get to send gifs, high quality photos, or see when people are typing back but that's a small price.
