Unfortunately, WhatsApp is still extremely widespread here.

@stefano I heard this as well. It stopped my buys an iPhone

@stefano Ever considered to, when people or companies want you to communicate with them on WhatsApp, simply ask them "WhatsThat?" ? :-)
(Not clients, obviously.)

@Invictvs I prefer decentralized protocols, like DeltaChat or Matrix.
But the problem is that many public offices, doctors, etc. here use WhatsApp. While my battle for the #OwnYourData goes on, I somehow need it. -

Signal is a centralised service from an American organisation that insist on using Google services and demand the users phone number. 🤷🏻♀️ -

@stefano it's remarkable isn't it, and we all just have to put up with it....

@stefano same here. It's the only devilish product that I couldn't get rid of =/

@stefano what issues are you encountering? I migrated two accounts from android to iOS with almost no issues.

@stefano if only XMPP foundation had a cross-platform reference client. :/

@flancian I don't have any news on this, except to say it's something that we'd like to do in future when there's bandwidth - it has a surprisingly large number of knock-on effects to consider in order to be accepted into the core code, and there are a lot of other things being worked on at the moment. So, no news as to when attention might turn to working on that, unfortunately.

For context, Facebook and Cambridge Analytics have already been accused of micro-targeting UK Facebook users ahead of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and more recently Xitter has been accused of amplifying far-right posts in Europe.
Little Tommeh fascist-Christian is just one of the far-right figures who are getting very agitated about the possibility of a crackdown on US social media.

@randahl
Also ESPECIALLY Franchises and physical services such as fastfood, coffee, delivery, rentals, ride hail, Hilton etc. These are parasites. They underpay, use fake royalties and other schemes to export profits without or little tax. They often require a local to rent the premises and put up capital.Actually BAN the stupid parasites.

@randahl @masek absolutely, but right now we're just totally fucked in terms of reliance on AWS and Azure, essentially nothing in Europe will work if cloud access is disrupted. So digital services has an escalation ladder that is especially dangerous to Europe. I hope that changes soon, but it won't change soon enough
