   “Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group as a suspected militant. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?”

   I feel we have to make this relevant to USians given how low the exchange rate of Palestinian lives to the US Dollar is: Think of it this way, this probably means your credit score is also affected by the people your WhatsApp groups.

   (So, do we finally have your attention?)🤞

     @yianiris That’s because their firehose is likely going directly to the Chinese government. They’re all horrible.

     I'd say that TIcToc is the only one that "doesn't" give such info out to them.

     They are all corporations subject to operate under a government and within a state. Very few of those, and due to their federation through banking/financing, can become more powerful than governments and dictate back what they do. Their interests as capitalists and the capitalist state, is mutual against those who threaten this dominance.

     Then we have states that act as satellites of another, they are not equal, and their agencies feed the satellite agencies.

     Tic Toc is better!
