A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's not that difficult. During the pandemic there was a privacy scare when Whatsapp was rumored to plan on breaking encryption. There was an upsurge in Signal installations and I actually got a small group to use it for a few weeks before the scare died down and we returned to Whatsapp.
If Meta really thinks people won't switch it may have an unpleasant surprise.
