It seems absurd that Meta literally has them by the balls, and these people can't do anything about it.

I don't get this sentiment. If anything happens to WhatsApp, they'll just switch to another IM. WhatsApp wasn't the first to come along, and won't be the last. How exactly does Meta have them by the balls?
