Unblock signal first?

US tech is in bed with Zionist fascism.

Big US Corp is in bed with money and power. Right now, that means MAGA and that does mean fascism & Zionists. The tech itself can be ok. Though WhatsApp/Facebook isn’t.

This is excellent advice.

For once I can see eye to eye with a murderous theocratic regime.
Geodad@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, that happens sometimes.

Wouldn’t want those pesky citizens having the ability to communicate securely, would we !

Communicate securely with WhatsApp? That’s an oxymoron.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.

Why is this good advice? They want their people to suffer. They want them to not communicate with the outside world
andallthat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They are basically at war with the US and there is this piece of US Tech that nearly everyone is carrying around and that can access their communications, precise location, microphone and camera.
It’s also owned by a company, Meta, that has a history of being used as a tool to manipulate public opinion. I have no particular sympathy for Iran but to me it doesn’t sound like bad advice (and I don’t think WhatsApp is the only way for people to communicate with the outside world).

Signal is a much better choice and its basically a whatsapp clone.

The only people making Iranians suffer at the moment are the Zionist fascists. They’ve already killed 1200 people in their unprovoked attack, including with terrorism and car bombs.
