WhatsApp is different because in a lot of cases, basically everybody uses it and it's replaced text messaging. So yeah there are plenty of dodgy group chats with wackos, but I only join groups with people I already know in person.

Same with me. But I've also seen people get radicalized by joining weird groups.

Yeah that's true unfortunately. I tell my grandparents to ignore all the community features on WhatsApp. Facebook gives them enough brainworms already.
