Well, when I tried to explain in a privacy community that ditching WhatsApp is nearly impossible in Brazil, then the guy answered me with "either you're a part of the problem, or you're a part of the solution".
If you boycott Meta as a tourist in Chile, you can't access bus schedules or buy a ticket, book accommodation, or hail a cab.
In many bars and restaurants, you can't even look at the menu.
You can't access gov app in Brazil, they ask for confirmation message via WhatsApp and if you click on "I don't have WhatsApp" they redirect you to PlayStore to download it.
So what can I do...
What do you need a govt app for? What do you do with it?
Taxes, sign and view documents, retirement plan, health care documents, election documents, worker documents. I hate how it's a hard breach of my privacy, but having the program just makes them avaliable to me, not more invasive, so I might as well use them.
Social benefits like small income due to autism or things like that. I don't apply for it but that's why people need
He did get you there
