    People don’t use WhatsApp because it’s encrypted. In fact, nobody I know uses it because of encryption. They don’t even know it’s encrypted nor what that means. Even if it were proven that WhatsApp didn’t encrypt a thing, or that Facebook reads everything you write, the majority would shrug and say “but everybody else uses it”. Most people just don’t give two shits about anything beyond themselves.

      As someone who had different the heart decade converting like nobody to signal unless they’re talking to me and even then it’s like pulling teeth, I completely agree. Trust NOBODY.
