I'm so tired of this answer. You have phones, right? You know, you dial ten or so digits and then you flap your mouthholes at the grill and pretend you're human?

Nah, let's just use the platform owned by the war criminal because everyone is there with our tech-ignorant relatives as our excuse. I hope you all meet a Rohingya one day.

"If you don't like reality, numb it out like the rest of us man."

We do have to practice tolerance of certain things, but genocide is not one of em. I'm sorry it makes you uncomfortable to know that you're using the same platform that was used by state-supported mass murderers and the executives knew about it and took the money, but allowing others to tend to their own discomfort is the deepest of compliments.

What platform are you talking about? You're borderline incoherent here.

If you are not aware of certain facts in certain parts of the world, it certainly would sound that way.

You're not naming the platform that you have a problem with and now you're just rambling. Trolling isn't taken lightly here ...

Sigh.

We're discussing WhatsApp in this post. Read the subject line.

I mentioned war crimes, and the [word] Rohingya, and that is enough for any curious mind to google and learn what I am talking about.

But since you're determined to do a thorough demonstration of willful incuriosity, what I am talking about is, Facebook, owned by Meta, which owns WhatsApp, was used as a platform to foment and execute a genocide in the country of Mynanmar, against the Rohingya muslim minority. Meta executives knew about it and did nothing, cause hey, brown people in that part of the world, who cares.

Enjoy talking to your grandpa or whatever.

Man you have no clue how many people I moved to Signal. I actually contributed to Signal years ago. So respectfully, f** you (if you're going on that tone).

There are just some people that still keep WhatsApp, meaning I need it.
