Telling people to use WhatsApp over Signal, or in conjunction with Signal, is stupid.

PLEASE do not use ANYTHING owned by Meta for resistance work.

I promise you, whatever excuse or reason you're thinking of does NOT matter. You are not safe using Meta products. Period.

@bjmendelson I would never tell people to use WhatsApp. But I would tell people they can *also* use Signal, *even if* for whatever (misguided) reason they can't leave WhatsApp.

@MishaVelthuis @bjmendelson this is right. I only use signal, but asking people to make that leap in one go will result in a lot of resistance.

Good for people to be able to try signal and find out how good it is, at least have some secure conversations and maybe eventually delete WhatsApp later.
