Same thing you can do in the Google app ecosystem, but in that case we say ‘hey maybe I don’t want this company to know everything about me, my plans, and what I like’.
Except you can’t. The scenario I outlined requires juggling a bunch of apps and it’s way more effort in practice. Try doing that sometime and you’ll see how clunky it feels.
I can literally go on the calendar, add a location which will interface with the maps app, which can give me reviews, menus, directions, etc. Add people from my contacts, who use any type of email and cal they like (not limited to WhatsApp users) and have an email sent off with an ICS file to add to their calendar of choice. Provide a drive attachment in the same calendar invite if there was something to discuss with this meetup…
Feeding all my info to a Chinese app isn’t going to somehow improve that. My larger interest is in breaking up the aggregation of data by a single entity.
And that’s precisely what makes it so much more clunky than just being able to do all of that right within the chat you’re having with your friends. I’m glad you’re so much happier feeding all your info into Google though, because it’s totally not facilitating aggregation of data by a single entity. 🤣

Said I can, not that I do. Not that I should expect the .ml CCP shills to understand anything outside of the tankie sphere.
Dronies try not to act like clowns challenge impossible.
