The people who say "just don't use WhatsApp" really don't understand. They may as well be saying "just don't use email"

For millions, possibly billions of people, it's a straight-up requirement for partaking in modern society.

Like somebody else here said, the EU has handed Signal, on a silver platter, the chance to become a mainstream messaging app, and rather than embrace it, Signal have comprehensively rejected it.

Honestly, what are they doing?
