If the apps don't work without network access and they don't have an obvious need for network access, then I don't want them on my phone. If that's the case, then either app is poorly made or it is being used to spy on people with unnecessary telemetry.

Its why the younger generation uses words like "Unalive". They're growing up on puritanical platforms that use automation to censor sensitive topics and they have to find creative ways to express themselves to get around the censorship.

Don't use WhatsApp if privacy is something you care about.

The last time there were campus encampments for the Gaza protests, many of them got violently broken up. Let's see how it pans out this time.

The good news is that WhatsApp and other products owned by zuccerberg are also optional.

A product that has a warranty which depends on any "predictive" metric is probably a scam, tbh.
