    They agree on WhatsApp? All my friends want to stick to the horrible Facebook Messenger for some reason.

      We’re a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta.

      Some refuse to install new apps, because “ugh not another one”

      Definitely a compromise

        They want to appear to care about privacy, you mean.

        Because all of those apps own (literally or is their property) every image text and other data you give it

          there are levels of data hygiene and levels of inconvenience people willing to put up with. Pumping less data points into the machine is still better than pumping more

            I don’t agree. Pumping more is better if you don’t care. Because then it can provide the services of knowing you.
