SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already.

It’s not Whatsapp, it’s Facebook/Meta.
That’s a distinction without a difference. It’s clearly risky to rely on that company for important communications.
It is important because these big corporations are hiding behind different named apps pretending they aren’t theirs.
Meta does not try to hide its ownership of Whatsapp; it actively cross-promotes its other services in the Whatsapp UI.
That’s not a meaningful distinction. Either way they should be using matrix or anything else.
