What’s everyone’s opinion on this? Is it a good or bad thing? It’s good, people can ditch WhatsApp and might be easier to convince people to leave it behind altogether. Bad - I can’t imagine that meta do anything without something being in it for them.
Could this potentially help meta scrape information from other messengers?
Could the likes of signal make it optional for the user, whether or not they want to be able to chat across the different messengers…
ah I see where our views split. I just told people what app to find me on and I’d rather call or write mail than use whatsapp for a tidbid of convenience.
So from my pov the interop will reduce security. From your pov it will be at worst equally insecure.
