I just published about Meta and Lavender - specifically how Whatsapp is used to enable bombing of WhatsApp users. https://lnkd.in/e8fk6eGV Lavender uses WhatsApp messages as input to their AI - where do they get this from? Surely Meta should not be giving group membership to a military that is bombing their users and their entire families, without oversight? Several of Meta's senior leaders have been significant supporters of Israel, including Zuckerberg donating to Zaka, and Sheryl Sandberg doing a propaganda tour. It is also not widely known that Lavender was produced by Unit 8200 (the Israeli NSA), and that Meta's CISO -- the most senior person responsible for policy and suppression of Palestinian content -- was in Unit 8200. Meanwhile, Meta has been systematically pro-Israel, suppressing Palestinian content, and has soft launched an anti-"anti-Zionist" policy that shocked Jewish Voice for Peace. At the same time, they've neglected to release a transparency report for the time covered by Lavender's use. Overall, the lesson is that people should not trust WhatsApp at all, and should migrate to other messaging apps like Signal. A lot of difficult questions for Meta before that trust can be rebuilt, and I don't honestly believe that Meta can or will answer them. Read my full post for more detail.
