This is Israeli tactics to improve their image.

It is called HASBARA. => Telling lies to improve their image. It is an official government agency.

That won't happen with Whatsapp. 3rd parties don't want META using the messages of their users for ad and AI training, like Signal.

This is so true. But the message is too complex for simple minded people to understand.

They are easy targets for populists with their lies and oneliners: - EU is suffocating us with their laws. - EU is meddling with what we eat. - Plants need co2 to grow, so more co2 is better.

But when you ask the same people: - Do you want to be screwed over by companies so that they can make more profit? - Should companies be allowed to mix everything in your food for more profit? - Plants also need water, would it be OK to flood them?

They would answer NO to all of the above. But people seem not capable of asking the same questions themself.

Light travels 300.000km/h, not 200.000km/h. Or did I overlooked something?
