The net effect of WhatsApp is the sum of each individual’s decision to use the app, or not. The app has not always existed, and it is my sincere hope that it will some day cease to be relevant. You appear to be making the “nothing I can do” argument for using a tool which has alternatives, which you and others are free to adopt. If you decide that there is nothing you can do, then Meta profits from your choice, and continues to do harm.
Not sure how this relates to the net effect of WhatsApp.
Sure, I understand that Meta is not an example of morality but, like elections, it’s not something an individual in isolation can decide
