This just makes more clear that we didn't try enough creating an open-source instant messaging app that respects our privacy as it should be. It's probably much more difficult to do the same thing as WhatsApp did because of the dependency we created around it but I think we just need the right initiative to do so.
It is hard to get the general public to care about privacy when they post pictures of every meal and share every thought and emotion they have with no filter.
It’s hard to get the general public to care about inferior things pushed on them by patronising people sneering at them. How is a photo of some food important to privacy enough to be the first thing you teach for? Seems more like punching down at people you see as inferior because photographing meals is “so lower class, right guys?”.
