I am a typical Chinese WeChat user. I do like WeChat for its ease of use, mobile payment, etc. But I don ’ t like the Leviathan aspects of it.

WeChat is bloatware. It crams too many features (even mini apps) into itself while lacking some most important feature like chatting history syncing. Tencent says it doesn ’ t save users ’ data on its servers. However it does, but it just doesn ’ t give to the users. Users have to export their tens of gigabytes of data from one device to another.

WeChat is a censorship tool. Its chatting has no encryption and privacy in mind. It exposes the users ’ data to authority. It censors users ’ chatting and sharing all along to comply with the Chinese Internet censorship regulations and large corporations ’ interest.

WeChat has its way of inventing its standard to push aside competitors. Its “ Moment ” and “ Publication ” platforms are entirely closed and have little interoperability with the web standard. It has its built-in web browser, sharing board, etc. The more the one uses it, the more unlikely it uses other apps.
