Discussion Which messengers will you be using after WhatsApp update it's new privacy policy?

[iDJ]

I have created this poll to know what messenger forum members will be using after WhatsApp update to it's new privacy policy.

While many people are concerned about privacy is more likely to move to alternatives like Signal and Telegram while some are gonna stick to WhatsApp as it's massively used among Indians.

Convinced school friend's group to move to signal completely. A few family members as well. I am using signal for 70% chat for now until others move.

PS - Its very difficult to convince old folks to move. Same thing with die hard fans of the apps

It's not possible to exit from WhatsApp for majority of people, many official stuff is through that only and post lockdown most of schools colleges also started relying on it... Even if one wants to leave that platform he cannot. So nothing is changing for me even after the policy update, I was using WhatsApp, Telegram and will continue same.

 

[Itsme...]

I will just block all permission for whatsapp except storage and will stick to it. I can't move to any other messenger as my University official groups are in Whatsapp. I have no intention of convincing nearly 300 people to move either. So i will just keep using it. Anyway i am not getting many messages in a day. Hardly 10-15 message all from group. Even don't have a DP.

Signal seems like best option for now. Can't asked contacts to move to a platform that can face ban anyday. Just like VK a huge scale copyright notices can land anyday for Telegram.

 

[Sumanth]

Voted for only Telegram. Will use it until some concern props up, (if any)

Ordering a Pizza in 2022

CALLER:
Is this Pizza Hut?

GOOGLE:
No sir, it’s Google Pizza.

CALLER:
I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry.

GOOGLE:
No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month.

CALLER:
OK. I would like to order a pizza.

GOOGLE:
Do you want your usual, sir?

CALLER:
My usual? You know me?

GOOGLE:
According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.

CALLER:
Super! That’s what I’ll have.

GOOGLE:
May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?

CALLER:
What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza!

GOOGLE:
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

CALLER:
How the hell do you know that?

GOOGLE:
Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

CALLER:
Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.

GOOGLE:
Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at Lloyds Pharmacy, 4 months ago.

CALLER:
I bought more from another Pharmacy.

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

CALLER:
I paid in cash.

GOOGLE:
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

CALLER:
I have other sources of cash.

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your latest tax returns, unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law!

CALLER:
WHAT THE HELL!

GOOGLE:
I’m sorry sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

CALLER:
Enough already! I’m sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I’m going to an island without the internet, TV, where there is no phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.

GOOGLE:
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago…

Welcome to the future ?
