"tech meddling" is an aggressive minimization that makes it sound innocent. The vast majority of the political class on earth have been pre-financed and pre-selected by the wealthiest criminals, rapists, pedophiles and thieves of society — promoted through their media — and their actions reflect the interests of that minority. The baseline is corrupt, and does not give a shit about "democracy"; only wealth and power.

Again, why the support for Israel against "the will of the people"? Why continue using American or Israeli tech companies despite direct threats to your "stated" personal and national values? To your democracy and sovereignty? Why even entertain backdoors that weaken national and domestic security like chat control? Why continue using closed foreign platforms owned by fascists?

How would you feel if Nazi Germany had a tracking device in your pocket, car, workplace? Every high traffic public place? In your own home pet cams and doorbell? In all of your transport options, public or private? Monitoring all your financial transactions, emails, and communications? and your government requires you to buy nazi tech for you to use basic government services and simply live your day to day life? Your government stores all of your data in nazi data centers?

If you understand history at all, you should understand that what the majority consider acceptable is currently at a mentally-ill level of ignorance and indoctrination.

Nah those billionaires come from all over and buy land all over. Why does new zealand allow so many of those billionaires in, then? So many of these people aren’t American! They just come here like foreign invaders to sell us fake fucking news and “space ships” while they steal our elections!

And as long as there are people, who willingly gulp down every us-american surveillance and privacy-killing endeavors, nothing will ever change. Glory to the holy empire just because I want one of those jobs? How pathetic, sorry.

With that pragmatism one could really justify everything. If only the majority does it too, or is just oblivious and/or ignorant of the underlaying problems.

As you said, the same reasons why this fucking abomination called WhatsApp still exists.

No thanks, I prefer being able to stand my reflection in a mirror. Because knowledge of an evil, while also participating in it, makes me complicit.

I was able to log in with my password and didn't need any ID, but I deleted the account so I will not end up in your situation. I have deleted several old accounts during the summer, so this was just one more account that is now deleted.

Well, it's a us-american company. You get what you paid for and had it coming.
