A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I mean, I partly agree with you. But I think this is more of a regulatory responsibility than an individual one. WhatsApp essentially functions like a social network, and even if someone wants to leave this shithole, it often comes with social consequences. Governments should step in to enforce cross-platform compatibility so that people can switch services without losing contact with family and friends.
