-		<h1>The Problem with WeChat, et al.</h1>
-		<p>
-		WeChat is not a preferred way of contacting me.  <a href="/contact.html">Use these instead</a>.
-		</p>
-
-		<p>
-		WeChat is a instant messaging program by the Chinese technology giant Tencent.  It is insanely popular in Mainland China.
-		</p>
-
-		<p>
-		I do not use WeChat when applicable for the following reasons.
-		</p>
-
-		<ul>
-			<li>
-				WeChat's client program is <a href="https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html">nonfree software</a>.
-			</li>
-			<li>
-				Many of WeChat's features are <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html">Service as a Software Substitute</a>.
-			</li>
-			<li>
-				WeChat's servers are nonfree; the service is centralized.
-			</li>
-			<li>
-				Tencent suspends WeChat accounts for sending "politically sensitive chats".
-			</li>
-			<li>
-				Information collected by WeChat is given to the police of the PRC without court warrants.
-			</li>
-		</ul>
-
-		<p>This list is incomplete.  I can't think of more now, tell me if you know some more.</p>
-		<p>Similar problems are present in other popular Instant Messaging services such as <a href="https://stallman.org/whatsapp.html">WhatsApp</a>, <a href="https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html">Discord</a>, Tencent QQ, etc.</p>
