I’m thinking of the things listed on the Privacy Guides real-time communication section

        Well no, but it is used for personal communication

          I feel like a lot of the military probably uses Facebook messenger because of the convenience.

          I imagine everyone is creating groupchats and assuming other people use Facebook just like pretty much every other job.

            Secure in the milliary is actually pretty important. You don’t want to accidentally leak troop deployments

              Totally but people do get careless. We’ve seen it a few times with the war in the Ukraine. /r/VolunteersForUkraine is a good example of that.

              I imagine it could be difficult stressing the importance of it to loved ones.
