Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this.
Hey that makes it easier to explain Signal to normies.
“Signal doesnt have ads”
“Ah ok”
I’m so tired of explaining the issues with meta and all their apps. “But everyone I know is on WhatsApp”, “yes, and it’ll stay this way until someone starts changing”.
I really hope that your argument does sink in!
