Honestly, with these kind of shenanigans, and having recently read the Meta tell-all "Careless People", I'm amazed at Meta's ability to still disappoint my expectations, despite them being at a low I didn't think could be beaten.
WhatsApp scares me a little to be honest - I can (and have) easily switch from using Facebook, Instagram etc. But WhatsApp is used for all sorts of groups where I live (family, work, political, etc). It's a really sticky technology, and very hard to move off of without convincing a lot of others. That would be bad enough on its own, but combined with Meta's continuous shady goings on, I genuinely feel uncomfortable with how much power is in such disinterested hands.
