I do not really think that is true. There is more than 2 billion active users on WhatsApp which is owned by Meta. Many people reading hackernews distrust them, but that is a tiny, tiny fraction of the general population: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1306022/whatsapp-global-...

I wouldn't assume using something means people trust it.

I pay my taxes, but I don't trust the US government. For that matter, I don't trust my grocery store either but I still need food.
