Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.
Sadly I don't think it will happen since we are extremely dependent on whatsapp because our SMS sucked ass since the inception, messages were costly and always arrived late.
Should get off of centralized services anyway. They could make it so that whatever app you used you could send messages to any other. Like with phone service providers, email or Lemmy etc.
People in general are too stupid to integrate these solutions in their daily lives, you should know better.
I meant countries should enforce encrypted intercommunication between apps by law.
A countries communications shouldn't be tied to any one app. It's becoming a national security issue and giving too much power to foreign corporations.
Maybe different features between users of the same app so that there is choice, but still having that fallback so someone on one app can still have secure communication with users of another app.
Currently the situation is like if you needed Gmail to email people with Gmail and Outlook to email people with Outlook.
It's surely an important subject, but it's unfortunately not in the interests of the goverment.
By the way, sorry if I sounded mean, that wasn't my intention.
