When Facebook announced that he will ask users to send their photos for confirmation I deleted my account from there. By the way most of messengers nowadays can steal your data, except of Signal maybe, but I can't be so sure in it.

Moreover many websites started to get payments in crypto currency which is also not very safe. Crypto holders should be very accurate with their transactions. It's better to use some well encrypted apps for that reason.

What do you think about it?
