    People don’t use WhatsApp because it’s encrypted. In fact, nobody I know uses it because of encryption. They don’t even know it’s encrypted nor what that means. Even if it were proven that WhatsApp didn’t encrypt a thing, or that Facebook reads everything you write, the majority would shrug and say “but everybody else uses it”. Most people just don’t give two shits about anything beyond themselves.
