If GP has an issue with Zuckerberg => Meta, they might have an issue with WhatsApp too.

The "protocols vs platforms" struggle is more relevant than ever.

(I am surprised that GP doesn't seem to have heard of Mastodon?)

Approximately no one I’ve ever know in Australia uses WhatsApp, so I generally don’t remember to remember it in these conversations.

I think I once used it to advise someone it’s owned my Facebook and sent them my public key.
