No, why would that be the case?
All these companies are terrible and there’s so much that boycotting can do without isolating you from your social circles. Here in Brazil it was already weird to be telling people I don’t have Instagram. Not having WhatsApp means you won’t do a lot of stuff, including talking to your doctor. It’s not my choice, it’s a systemic dependence and yeah, it sucks.
Gotta break the cycle somehow. Participating is being complicit.
I too had that issue with a doctor. I worked it out though. It’s hard when everyone depends on WhatsApp, but I refuse to play along. I will hang out with people who get that, I don’t want to associate with people who don’t care.
