A lot of victim blaming in this thread. Why can’t you just be mad for someone who was deceived?
at what point is it someone’s responsibility to simply know better?
this isn’t some complicated deceit it’s literally one of the most untrustworthy companies in the world lying to your face. A company we’ve known for now like two decades is untrustworthy and overtly harms people to make money
do people have responsibility at all?
If companies are lying in their advertising to the general public, then that is something the companies are responsible for. You can blame the victims, but that’s kind of stupid because there are so many people in the world who are not technically savvy. They don’t have the resources, background, knowledge, and skills to evaluate whether what the company is telling them is true. That’s why there are laws designed to protect consumers from lying companies.
Would it be great if everyone was an expert in everything? Yes. Are they? No. They never will be. That’s why we have laws.
Do you think an attractive woman who has been raped multiple times should simply know better? Is she asking for it if she wears slightly more revealing clothing? How many times does she need to be sexually abused before it’s her fault? How much responsibility does she have for her own abuse?
Somehow you’ve managed to connect basic consumer responsibility to being raped
There is literally something wrong with your brain if these are somehow remotely appropriate to compare

Because it’s the gazillionth time the exactly totally absolutely same kind of shit happens with the very exactly same company that didn’t even try to hide who they were.
And next week the very very same deceived people will be of Facebook, Instagram, etc. And maybe, just MAYBE they’ll migrate away from Whatsapp… to join another proprietary network of another billonaire’s controlled megacorp.
Because I’m tired of being “that pain in the ass” when barely suggesting to use something else all to see at the end people crying over things they’ve be warned about.
If a kid burns themself once on a kitchen’s hotplate, you assume they learnt his lesson in an unfortunate way despite all the warnings.
If adults keep burning themselves over and over… and over and over and over, at which point are you entitlede to say they’re part of the f*cking problem??

I’m sick of Mark fucking zuckerberg.
If i was the mad king of the usa all of those tech bros would be in a jail in el salvador.
OH JUST USE SOMETHING ELSE!
I do but that doesn’t stop that ugly weak fuck from stealing from my business every chance he fucking gets.

It’s like buying a hot dog from a gas station and not feeling awesome tomorrow.
If you keep buying the hot dog every week, you see other people buying it and are fine, but you’re the only one getting sick week after week, at some point maybe you should just stop buying the hot dog.
No one else is getting sick. They know what they’re getting. But you keep buying it expecting this time it’ll be different. And when it isn’t it’s the gas stations fault.
