Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group
(blog.paulbiggar.com)
It is beyond obscene and makes Meta complicit in Israel's killings of "pre-crime" targets and their families, in violation of International Humanitarian Law and Meta's publicly stated commitment to human rights.
I mean if true - and it likely is - then this would be the third genocide Meta is implicated in, by my count, (Rohingya, Tigray) and there may be others they haven't been called out for yet.
yeah but like I still use Facebook to staybin touch with people, and its super convenient despite the unusable enshittification, so I'm gonna need at least five genocides to stop.
Facebook: hold my beer
they would never do a fourth genocide.
Number 6 will shock you.
nah. nah I'm kind of expecting it tbh. got my affairs mostly... not in order, but wrapped up.
This is why metadata matters so much. Plenty of "end-to-end encrypted" apps only handle the content of messages, but know on the server side what people are in what places. Or even keep a historical record of who joined and left. Or just don't bother encrypting...
There is functionally no way to hide this kind of information from a state actor short of some onion routing scheme mesh networking.
Signal does a decent job just out of the box.
I'm surprised Israel is that discerning.
From what I can tell, they're killing people based on those people being inside the borders of Gaza.
I don't think those 13,000+ children were all using Whatsapp. The ones that couldn't read or write probably didn't find it especially useful.
I just assumed Israel was killing people based on those people's proximity to exploding israeli ordnance

well yes but you could create accounts for them after they died, and use a dead Hezbollah guys phone to invite them to whatsapp group. or just any phone. whichever.
you know, to be sure they were enemy combatants.
The only time they recognise those borders is when the command the war crimes units to enter.
I think they recognize them every time they want to stop a Palestinian from leaving.
Signal is the way
Then they could just go off phone numbers.
Signal just introduced a new feature to obscure phone numbers behind usernames
That's a lot of speculation. I'd like to learn the truth.
The +972 article clearly mentioned Lavender using "being in WhatsApp groups" as a variable to designate targets.
Zuckerberg donating 125K to Zaka (the 40 beheaded babies propaganda group) and his other top Meta staff being massive Zionists living in israel is a rather direct link.
Hmm. I mean it's an article citing another article, citing a book published under a pen name which seems to include a guide which says using WhatsApp groups could be an example of an information source...
Sounds more like Chinese whispers to me than journalism. I'm a bit cautious since everyone has strong opinions and lots of people spread misinformation... The donation certainly is an interesting fact. I'm not saying it's necessarily false. But also not enough to convince me.
Yeah and israel just coincidentally bombs 200 aid worker and keeps bombing family homes.
The +972 article perfectly explains what is going on in Gaza right now. Also they are a pretty reliable source for left Israeli news if it's not Zionist propaganda writers publishing.
Lastly the IDF did not deny they are doing this when they were asked about it.
