Correct. The problem is that many girls and boys have shown interest in me, but when they approach, they ask for my "WhatsApp number". To which I explain that I don't "use" a smartphone, as it is a tracking and surveillance device. Instead, I offer them my email address and GnuPG public key, or, if they prefer, my JID and OMEMO fingerprint.

So far, I have only made one friend. I am still waiting for the rest of the messages.
