I’ve already announced that I’m fully switching to Signal and ye olde SMS by the end of the week. There’s no reason to postpone it any longer.
Meta said in the announcement that the new features are built “in the most privacy-oriented way possible,” and has emphasized that sharing of data between WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook will only happen when users have opted in to having their accounts linked.
So, not private at all… “most privacy-oriented way” - The same way that users need to activate “advanced chat privacy” manually on every single chat while they roll out and embed their bug ridden AI.
Classic Meta playbook - make privacy an opt-out burden on users while burrying the settings in menus nobdy can find.
Well tried, i’m convincing everyone to get the fuck out anyway
