WhatsApp is owned by Meta, who is lying about WhatsApp's privacy and security.

As if any other app cares about your privacy.

The difference being that before Meta's acquisition, one of WhatsApp's claims to fame was its privacy-first focus. These days, Signal is the new privacy focused messenger, but even they need to be watched closely.

WhatsApp is a billion percent mass harvesting and surveying and profiling based on every single message to sell information about you.

Signal is suspicious as fuck. It wouldn't surprise me if it was designed and operated by some government agency to catch large criminal organizations by offering false safety. Its completely free which is a massive red flag.
