How many people can you reach with WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger? How many people can you reach with SMS? Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2365
> How many people can you reach with WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger? 99% of all the ones I care about to be honest. Maybe it's a function of me being an eastern-european expat living in London, but almost every here (Europe) uses WhatsApp.

Yes that was a defense. Explorer.exe and IE were intimately tied together. Remember “active desktop”? You could make your Windows desktop background a web page. Crazy times...
I wouldn't mind that, actually. I could create my own dashboard/background.

I laughed at this because I thought the same thing. Conspiratorial or no, that line of argument won't fly. Saying everything is so integrated that it can't possibly be decentralized is basically proof of monopoly.
It would also be a hilarious argument to make after previously convincing the European Commission in 2014 that there is no technical way to integrate Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp user accounts. [0] [0] https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/pl/IP_17_...
What was the argument there? It's not like that's solving the halting problem.
Whatsapp is extremely dominant in my country, but I keep encouraging friends and acquaintances to install Telegram. As far as I know, there won't be anything preventing FB from geoblocking European users when the company eventually gets in some serious trouble, like it just did in the US.
Why telegram and not signal?
It's not only Facebook, a lot of services, Deezer, some operators in France... https://downdetector.fr/

Correct, I'm referring to e2e. My personal trust model is not to trust the server.
Right, I understand. It's still encrypted, though, just not in a way that you like.

This has nothing to do with solar flares or cycles.
