SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already.

With all respect to a privacy advocates(I'm one), but blaming them on using WhatsApp is besides the point, these people are not trying to hide their activities, or locations, and many of them are not tech-saavy, the shame is on the cess pool that is Meta, and all the other goons...this is so fucked up on so many levels.

    blaming them on using WhatsApp is besides the point

    WhatsApp admins are explicitly interfering with a public protest in order to satisfy a genocidal foreign government.

    This is at least as big a deal as TikTok censorship of anti-China posters. It's just on behalf of a US ally, so we're defending it rather than threatening to interfere in their business practices in turn.

    the shame is on the cess pool that is Meta

    Who appoints WhatsApp administration heads if not Meta? It's the same picture.
