The Problem with WeChat, et al.

- WeChat is not a preferred way of contacting me. Use these instead. -

- -

- WeChat is a instant messaging program by the Chinese technology giant Tencent. It is insanely popular in Mainland China. -

- -

- I do not use WeChat when applicable for the following reasons. -

- -

- WeChat's client program is nonfree software. -
- Many of WeChat's features are Service as a Software Substitute. -
- WeChat's servers are nonfree; the service is centralized. -
- Tencent suspends WeChat accounts for sending "politically sensitive chats". -
- Information collected by WeChat is given to the police of the PRC without court warrants. -

- -

This list is incomplete. I can't think of more now, tell me if you know some more.

Similar problems are present in other popular Instant Messaging services such as WhatsApp, Discord, Tencent QQ, etc.
