Privacy first? So what is WhatsApp doing on there?

I get why, that is for a lot of people the ONLY way they use a phone instead of calling, but this definitely not privacy first or social media free then.

I mean, it's not like it comes preloaded or anything. It's Linux, you can choose install (or not install) whatever you want.

Edit: Good Lord, it actually does come preloaded. Unreal.

Wait, where? Is that in te video i didnt watch? Preloaded whatsapp spyware is a dealbreaker if it cant be removed easily and immediately.
