- Those who didn't accept the new terms are glad to use the opportunity to virtue-signal.
- Those who accepted the new terms are afraid to admit so.
I'll bite the bullet: I accepted the terms.
If you want more honest opinions, you should probably post an anonymous poll.
However I never accepted the new ToS. WA keep asking me to accept them and I don't (can't remember the actual wordings). It has been like that for months. I've even chatted with a business a couple of weeks ago. It seems they are doing like when they were asking for 1 Euro per year. They eventually gave up and never interrupted the service. The network effects of losing users work against them.
I am not sure how hard it is to grasp that some people just don't use any of it. But I guess this is where you come to virtue signal about virtue signalling.
Besides, when you boot up your phone and you see the Android logo, you're fucked anyways.
It's the jujitsu you did at the beginning of your first post. "People who chose the opposite of my choice are just here to brag about that and show us how concerned they are with big tech and privacy. I on the other hand have the stones to admit that I took the path of least resistance for convenience and there are many others like me that did the same that are just to scared to admit it. But I'm not - look at me!"
I depend on WhatsApp heavily to keep in touch with friends and family and cannot imagine not using it (it would require everyone switching to signal enmasse).
