If you're scared, maybe you missed the part where you can play games on WeChat and that respecting user privacy is important to them! Nothing to see here, don't call us, we'll kick your door downcall you if we need anything.

WeChat is what facebook aspires to be. Fb may have better algorithms though. I don't have the experience to say, but I know fb spends some hardcore cash on what's going on in their users' heads. Like literally.
