From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah yes, the obligatory "lol just don't use $thing" response. Helps nobody, but I guess it lets you feel superior.
I hate Facebook as much as anyone, but in the real world people don't always have the luxury of getting to use whatever you consider morally correct. Especially with a messenger – depending on where you are, Whatsapp might just be what most people are using, and the people are the reason you would use a messenger in the first place.
Ah yes, the obligatory "superiority" response. Because it's nothing to do with trying to improve your situation or preserving your rights or the rights of others, it's only about "superiority" LOL
I don't think you do.
Yes. They do. And the world is a shit place because they choose not to.
You're delusional, buddy
How so?
Because for some reason the anti WhatsApp crowd fails to understand that the majority of the people using WhatsApp would lose any social life if they just uninstalled. It's always the same. "Just don't use WhatsApp!". I'd literally not communicate with any of my family. I'd be the one weirdo that doesn't use WhatsApp and that then maybe gets invited to things if somebody remembers to call me or write me a text message.
Your family seems kind of shitty if they would refuse to install another app to communicate with you. Especially if that other app serves everyone's best interests...
