You can use their products and still hate the brand. I use Whatsapp daily (as does everyone I know) and there's no way I'm buying anything from Meta.

- lotsofpulp 1y agoYou might not be buying anything from Meta with cash, but you are with information about yourself and your network.
- pier25 1y agoYes, but that's besides the point. My comment was in the context of "Meta has a brand issue" which is absolutely true.
- bergie 1y agoI was able to avoid WhatsApp until we started our current multi-year sailboat cruise. All the local cruiser communities are on WhatsApp. So when we got to the Canaries, I created an account. But I'm making sure WhatsApp will not be used for anything outside this context. That way I can nuke it when we're back home.
