1 year agoIf it is something that makes you stand out, that would likely count in the category of information that you’d “have” to give out.
If your entire country runs on WhatsApp — for example — there’s not really a practical reason to insist on not using the app just ‘cause of Meta ownership.
Chances are, it doesn’t really matter in the sea of all the others that do the same. Bit of a balance to strike, but not too worrisome if a little bit of personal privacy is the only concern, like your average person.
And incidentally, this need for revenge porn laws is also a symptomatic issue with a separate cause. Technology always moved forward and with no relation to social advancement, where there is also no realistic “Genie being forced back in the bottle” scenario either.
That being said, easier access to more powerful technology with lackluster recognition of personal responsibility doesn’t exactly bring happy prospects. lol…
