I dont use read reciepts on WhatsApp. I keep it off. So I cannot see if a person has read my message or the sender of a message cannot see Ihave read their message. Status update views are also hidden.

Other messaging apps also have this feature. I personally don’t like it. Do you?

    I use them.

    Text communication is so hard in the first place. I’ll take any tool I can get to make it smoother.

    My model for privacy is: I want to keep corpos out of my business, so that I can feel comfy sharing more with the people I care about.

    If I’m treating my friends like a threat, what’s the point? Might as well not be the real me anywhere, anytime then. At which point, who cares about privacy when it’s not even “you” that you’re keeping private?
