These are the types of Whatsapp Channels Indians get recommended

I know WhatsApp is like the international standard but you all need to get off that shit. Meta should be boycotted globally.
I don’t understand why this is just ok everywhere. People are swearing off American tech in droves, yet somehow this one gets a free pass.
FYI a lot of Indian government agencies use WhatsApp for their everyday operations. Most Indians don’t care about the US stuff, all they need is WhatsApp
I still don’t get it. If WhatsApp is ok, why not Facebook messenger? Why not instagram dm’s? Meta alleges that WhatsApp is “encrypted”, but why would anyone believe that? Is “trust me bro” good enough for the government of a nuclear power? And yes I know the US is no better, but India’s government relying on a commercial product from an American spy company is bonkers. It would be like the the EU using WeChat.
WhatsApp is at least E2EE but Instagram isn’t even E2EE. Even Facebook Messenger is safer. Although, out of all the Meta apps, WhatsApp is the safest bet. I’m not necessarily promoting and saying you should use WhatsApp but just saying that it’s a safer bet. If you want an actual privacy respecting messaging app, check out Signal. If you wanna be anonymous, use SimpleX Chat
