This is pretty awesome. It will force people to use platforms that are ACTUALLY secure, like Signal.

Meta, in conjunction with the US government, is going to make it harder to surveil protesters. How elegant!

Current administration? haha The entire reason the Ukraine is in this mess is because the US and NATO has been using them as sacraficial lambs since Clinton.

I remember the Cold War. The USSR was bad because they were communists.

Then, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Western governments and corporations paid the corrupt, now former communists, who were in charge of industries, to hand over resources in ways that would not help Russia and turned Russia into an Oligarchy right away. At the same time, agreements were made about NATO (which should have been defunct the moment the USSR fell, given its mission) and about how close a NATO country would be to Russian borders.

Then, when Russian people were upset about the way the West was exploiting their resources and violating agreements, a strongman gained power by “standing up to the West,” and suddenly, Russia was bad again. Putin would not be in power if he did not have the West as a foil.

The West has certainly been Russophobic my entire life, and it’s crazy to see my fellow citizens in the US continue to fall for the same old tricks.
