Wrong, anti-libre software traps us in every abusive decision of its owner.

You learning how to make other people directly around you care. Start with the easy stuff, like helping them leave WhatsApp and Discord.

Again they show us privacy policy never works, libre software does.

We have no way of proving anything is actually deleted on their devices. When they get a copy of our data, nothing will bring that copy back.

If your friend’s hiding from Mossad, I think they’ll know to get it from F-Droid and turn on end-to-end encryption.

Libre software doesn’t mean we control what other people do with their devices. Run it on your devices. The App Store and Google Play Store is not libre. Get it yourself. Apps should have reproducible builds. Everything there misses the point of my original comment.

You were given the evidence. It’s clear you don’t want it. A VoIP number does not solve this as the original post already explains.

Get a number like theirs and try it yourself.

Why are all the ‘network issues’ always effecting phone numbers starting with the same country code?

This is never written anywhere in that comment. Is it too hard to read? Which part is confusing?

has links to Israeli intelligence.

Wrong. It’s libre software. We users control it.

The point is that people can’t sign up for Signal due to blocked SMS. Arguing privacy versus anonymity is pointless when there is a denial of service.

What is this slop? Libre software has never meant we control what other people do with their servers.

Yes but Signal is libre. If you’re already failing, stop making it harder. Get others to care first, then go for decentralisation.

2 and 3 are the whole point of the original post.

But you’re right about decentralisation. The main issue is:

I don’t see this announced on their website.

Always keep work on a separate device.

Make them come to you. Keep your replies short. Make them ask more. If you give it all away upfront, they’ll forget by tomorrow.

Start here but make sure you really understand it.

Who’s waiting for them to lie to us? WhatsApp has always failed to include a libre software license text file, which means we’ve always been banned from forking it. We’ve never truly controlled it. Every decision, every update, every change comes from its owners, not us. We can never ensure it aligns with our needs or privacy values. We’re completely trapped in their every choice, with no way to force out abusive decisions. This lawsuit just proves what we’ve been losing all along, control over our own computing.
