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.

I use WhatsApp cautiously with friends who still refuse to jump over to Signal (let alone Matrix or Session). But it’s def mind blowing to read an activist group was relying on it for organizing. Reminds me of FB being used for organizing G20 and BLM demos -_-
A sad reality of political activism is the inability of many groups to follow proper opsec.
This is why you don’t use whatsapp
This is yet another reason why you don’t use whatsapp

Meta is complicit in the genocide
Not the first genocide, either
100% CIA and mossad were watching those channels realtime.

They literally broadcast their location publicly on their website.
This public tracking is the only reason they didn’t all get murdered on the last boat

Keep in mind the tweet refers to the group chat as used by the flotilla to communicate with their European supporters, not necessarily for their internal communications.

So happy not to be using Whatsapp…
At least they werent organising on discord, maybe its intentional to send a message to people about meta
another reason why not to use whatsapp? for all that is good, don’t use meta or any corporate technofascist company. there are better options.
Was this their main channel of communication or just a group they had for supporters?
Amazing that they weren’t using Signal for comms outside their group, but for internal comms it’s even more amazing they weren’t using something like Meshtastic.
So the Trump ass-kissers have given the King of Fools another gift for his pleasure. The cost to freedom is immense
Sounds like this group is more of a social media vibe group, rather then a group interested in real undermining of Zionism. Maybe stop being pawns for slacktivists with rich parents and try joining the PLO instead?
