Have you also tried using Signal instead of WhatsApp? Sorry, had to do it.

That's a glowing recommendation of Signal. And a good reminder to donate. I'm doing it right now.

This would essentially require you to not communicate outside of Signal.

Celebrity/billionaire worship. Just no. It means their values are wildly erratic.

Don't threaten us with a good time!

Right. This goes for every company, ever. No company is going to do what they should do if it's not profitable or beneficial to them in some way. It makes sense if you think about it, but that's also why regulation exists. So that they don't become too unhinged.

I need to understand why people still keep giving that man money. Willingly. It's mind boggling.
