   That's it. It is not about being the best, the safer, the most private,   
   alternative, but that it is a fact that here it is the absolute king.   
   Everybody has it and uses it. I have all the others alternatives (except   
   the Swiss one), and nobody ever uses them. If I want to communicate with   
   somebody it has to be via WhatsApp.   
      
   There are some groups of people, that use some other message among the   
   group (some politicians), but that's it.   
      
   Heck, we learned because of a court case that the top prosecutor in the   
   country was using WhatsApp, and that he erased it regularly,   
   irretrievably even by top court order.
