If you remember Facebook acquired WhatsApp after it became popular. I stopped using it then. Had to be around 8-9 years ago.
I seem to remember a promise to keep the two platforms separate.

"Facebook promised that WhatsApp would remain a separate entity."
"The deal still raised privacy concerns from the Federal Trade Commission." ... how about now?
The federal government is owned and controlled by them. Any resistance to these international conglomerates and foreign interests is pure theatrics. The only solution to fix the country is basically to completely purge the fed at the national level and then go after state governments who are also largely owned by the same powerful foreign interests. Our government has essentially abdicated from the social contract and must be destroyed. Anyone who thinks it can be done another way is kidding themselves and doesn't understand where power comes from or how it works.
If you remember when Ellen SImonetti got fired from jetblu because of pictures that got posted on Facebook...I deleted Facebook and when Microsoft bought LinkdIn I deleted that too. Social Media? Open source Intelligence. Providing Data to Banks and Insurance Companies and Law Enforcement . Yeah...if you don't have a VPN you need to be thinking about your online activity in terms of what can they prosecute me for?
