Same boat here. I don’t even have a FB account but I am in a handful of WhatsApp groups. Most are family related but one is a tight-knit men’s group at church where privacy is important. The “hey men, I’m struggling with <insert really difficult topic here> and I need support” type group.

We’re ditching WhatsApp likely for Signal as well. I trust satan himself more than I trust Zuckerburg.
