Also Tyke, telegram would be the best option for private communication. I am in a telegram group for another share which seems to work very well.
Telegram offers better privacy and security for LSE PI discussions. Phone numbers can be hidden completely, whereas WhatsApp exposes numbers to all group members. Telegram uses usernames, making it easier for people to participate without sharing personal details.
Telegram also provides stronger moderation tools (private invite links, admin controls, easy removal of troublesome posters.)
For PI groups discussing public information only, Telegram is generally safer, more private, and easier to manage than WhatsApp. If someone knows how to do this please count me in. Thanks
