Because Whatsapp is totally not owned by FB.

It’s not about why owns it. It’s about where young people can be without getting bothered by their parents and other old people.

I'm 41.....you telling me the kids today don't think of me as the greatest person who ever existed??? Pssshhh that's malarkey! I won't hear of it! EVERYONE thinks I'm the greatest person who ever existed! My lexicon includes words like "malarkey" and "lexicon"! Kids think that's cool right???

I'm 39 so I am slightly more rizz than you. I maintain my levels of brat by regularly updating my skibidi vocab.

Yo, your lexicon is making my malarkey happy

That's about phone number requirement for signup. Not about platforms.

OK. Life is life.

I've just had a traumatic memory of one young person, a girl (with possibly undiagnosed ASPD), from 13 years ago.

Feel nausea and want to throw up every time thinking about that kind of places, dynamics, emotions.
