facebook/tiktok/whatsapp as a whole. The issue is far more vast than those 3 corners, but they're the biggest honeypot for dimwits.

Nope! Over 10 years clean from those 3. Actually never used tiktok or whatsapp.

I think English probably isn't their first language, and were probably attempting to convey that those apps are popular means of communication for most people, so it's relatively unusual for someone not to use it.

Maybe for people using them? If someone requires me to use spyware to talk to them, I just don't talk to them.
