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