Why is whatsapp exempt, its from the same data hoarding company

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I'd say mostly practical reasons. It's hard to get everyone in your contacts list to switch to Signal or other options. WhatsApp is so widely used that it's hard to eliminate it completely without losing touch with friends or family. We're trying, and hopefully with time enough people will switch that WhatsApp can fall to the wayside
