The primary threat to Palestinian civilians in Gaza remains the IDF. And in the West Bank, it's the Israeli settlers.
How do Google and Microsoft prevent their tech from being used toward genocidal/settler ends against civilians?
Umm they don’t sell to Hamas but I could be wrong.
They do sell to Israel, which uses the tech to commit mass-atrocities against civilians.
Is it their job to do that?

That is an external problem to the bitchat app.

Not really. If it becomes a tool of terrorist communication, it will get shut down. Legally, technically and/or kinetically.
