    None of the messaging metadata is encrypted. They use that metadata to build profiles of people who aren’t Facebook or Instagram users that interact with Facebook and Instagram users. If you care about profiling for the sake of avoiding social engineering attacks, it’s one of your worst choices. If all you care about is protecting the contents of your messages, yeah, it’s pretty okay

      No disagreement there. I could have clarified, my comment was in regard to message content only. I didn’t realize that about metadata and certainly am not defending Meta. I’d prefer Signal over anything else but as others have mentioned, getting friends and family to adopt is painful.
