  • Amen.

    For people who are not from Argentina, you should at least make the effort to understand the current problems argentinian society is facing.

    If you don’t care to do that, why even share any opinion at all and just hate Milei.

    There’s a lot of good reasons to hate the other candidates too. Even more than Milei if you ask me. The thing is, this guy does not come from the elite ruling class.

    Disclaimer: I am not Argentinian, but I have family and friends over there.






  • I just strongly disagree that people don’t have a choice.

    Just to give the full context regarding my opinion: I do live in an EU country in which WhatsApp is the default messaging app and Instagram is where people my age and younger use to keep in touch with their social circle.

    It’s been how you’ve said. A lot of people I cannot easily reach out. I’ve managed not to be completely isolated through Telegram.

    People I’m really close to me have been kind enough to meet me there. Even some collegues from my previous work. Every time I’ve gone out with them, we’ve talked there.

    Now I’m in very few family/friends chat groups (the ones I’m in, I actually care about). There’s less distractions and notifications. So at least that have been an advantage.

    Edit 1: Some typos and grammar mistakes.

    Edit 2: Also, I can’t say there’s no ocasional friction regarding not using Meta. As you said, I’d be amazing if they had interoperability with other messaging services without tracking me. Things would be a lot easier for me.






  • This price is absurd, sure. Even if I trusted Meta, there’s no way I’m paying that.

    Having said that, they can charge whatever they want for the service. As company, their prices are up them.

    I don’t get why you (no OP specifically, but in general) put it as if you must pay or give up your rights. We can just not use Meta, as many of us already been doing.

    GDPR should be there to protect and enforce informed consent. Not to remove people’s ability to decide.

    Why sholuld we regulate Meta’s prices and not whatever other suscription service exists out there?
