#WhatsApp has introduced channels, music in status etc. and has made WhatsApp into another social media and less of a mainstream #messenger.
The bad:
• It is targeting people who are not on social media to be hooked.
• I feel there's a possibility of WhatsApp removing encryption in future , now that its even less serious form of messenger.
The good:
• It seems to be so distractive and cluttered that it makes #signal , #simplex and other #floss options more attractive.

Ok here is another reason why the #Wicked movie is SO GOOD:
When watching this clip:
1.) replace the word "Western" with "Mastodon", "Signal", "Matrix", "SimpleX" etc. 
2.) when she sings "those who ground you", she is actually referring to big surveillance tech companies
3.) "Defying Gravity" is ACTUALLY about degoogling and deleting facebook etc.
