It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

Best news ever
What about FB Messenger? It’s the most common instant messaging app in many European countries. I never understood why Whatsapp is used more than Messenger in some countries as Messenger is used in both phones and computers, while Whatsapp is used only on phones.
Oh my gosh: No cesspool for Europe.
