This is an insane story. One input to Israel's dystopian "Lavender AI", which selects targets to be killed by the IDF, is "whether you're in a WhatsApp group with a suspected member of Hamas". Which means that Meta is sharing this data with the IDF, making it directly complicit. All the more insane because WhatsApp is advertised by Meta as putting privacy first and foremost: "Your privacy is our priority. With end-to-end encryption, you can be sure that your personal messages stay between you and who you send them to." (whatsapp.com/privacy) *Conditions apply. For instance we may share your private information during a genocide so you and your family are exterminated.

Important caveat: "if true" 👇. We need to bear in mind that there's no smoking gun in this story that proves Meta did send this data. But it is private Meta data that somehow ends up in the hands of the IDF so it's a fair speculation 🤷♂️ And if it is true, and Meta quite literally participates in the killing of its users, they absolutely should be sued to oblivion and probably dismantled. A company shouldn't normally be able to survive something like this, it's completely crazy.

“Which means that Meta is sharing this data with the IDF, making it directly complicit.” - Do you know this Arnaud or are you solely basing it off the opinions of the article writer? Who doesn’t even know himself. You and the article writer are making giant assumptions based on an article from 972Mag that itself was fairly “loose”
@RnaudBertrand But do you condemn TikTok? 🙃
@RnaudBertrand @georgegalloway ik haat M Z. hij is een drol.
@RnaudBertrand It should not shock people. Jewish Americans and Israel are something out of Zoolander.
@RnaudBertrand US big tech is like corporate media - completely infiltrated by the deep state. It’s depressing.
@RnaudBertrand I have repeatedly told this: If you are an "enemy" of the West (Iran, China, Russia, HAMAS, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah etc), you must refrain from using anything, which are controlled by the US companies (Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft etc). 1/
@RnaudBertrand This explains why the IDF helicopter pilots used WhatsApp to identify targets on 10/7.
