Whatsapp is a strong net positive. This is the world’s communication network (I’m counting US out because it is counting itself out)

  WhatsApp was not developed by Meta. They just bought it. That said, I don't think Meta/FB is a net-negative, far from it. They contributed back to the community with high quality infra-level software.

    Sometimes we in the tech community need to poke our heads out of our tech silos. Once you do, you will see how much societal damage Meta has caused under Zuck's leadership.

      In that regard I fully agree. My view was merely from a technical perspective.

        And I agree with you. There are many great tech folks at Meta who released some great open source projects. It's the leadership that's the problem.
