Whatsapp is a whale when it comes to privacy scam. Cannot trust whatsapp/facebook

Just go for Signal. Whatsapp is a total data krake.

Moral of the story; if it's owned by Facebook, don't use it.

Yes... but actually no. It depends on the purpose of the company/product owned by them.

When it comes to companies with morals like Facebook, that sort of thinking would be incorrect.

If you have a program or app that's been released for free by a company with potentially thousands of employees that are all on payroll, that creates a need for funds; obviously. The only two ways to make money would be by restricting features unless the user pays a set amount of money, or you mine data from the users phone and then sell that data. That's the only way executives are going to be able to turn a profit.

And the purpose of the app/program has no effect on the capabilities of the code behind it. RAM cleaners, weather apps, gacha games, and social media apps could all easily have the exact same function that sends data to a server. Closed source code creates an easy gateway for businesses to sneak in nefarious bits of code that could be doing anything.
