Exactly. "Hey, won't *everybody* switch to using <something else> for 
our communication, photo sharing, event coordination, etc.? Why? Because 
I'm (the only one in the group) worried about my privacy on Facebook."

Besides the social part of asking *everybody* *else* to switch I'm also 
not aware of a viable <something else>. Fortunately most of the 
conversations have been moving to WhatsApp (where they are supposed to
be encrypted, at least).

Kind regards,
Andrei
