@eff @jilliancyork @theintercept "Tried" makes it look like they failed. there's a massive muzzle on anti-genocide posts already on meta's websites. This policy will only die with the platforms they own. Otherwise it'll just shift.

The Allies failed to denazify Europe by failing to dismantle the political foundations their own nations shared with the Nazi regime. Europeans need not repeat that mistake.

Germany was never denazified. That’s why it’s siding with Israel today.

@Peter_Link So our choice is between a party that conflates antizionism with antisemitism and a party that conflates it with terrorism. Cool. My goal just got upgraded to end this duopoly even if it's the last thing I'll do.

@[email protected] When there's a will, there is a way. The problem is it's all cosmetic and lowering the prices would most probably come with new waves of tax cuts, layoffs, aggressive expansion in international markets and wage theft tactics. They won't lower their profit margins that easy.

@hszakher @asem_alaa @gharbeia I saw a banner for a direct WhatsApp line to governor's office! directorates and even official syndicates. Mind you I was living in the Delta. maybe in Cairo it started even earlier. Social media was a huge part of the zeitgeist. Every org and public institution started hiring social media teams and/or outsourcing to PR agencies. Despite that only 20% of Egyptians were online, they were more important audience to marketers & PR
Apologies for spamming your mention🌹

I remember using FB, WhatsApp, WikiHow. The initiative was branded as "aid" to developing countries, in retrospect now I see it as aggressive expansion and market research plot. In this period I started noticing FB & WhatApp buttons all over private companies' websites as the suggested contact method, few months later I started seeing flyers and banners IRL encouraging citizens to contact various govt services via FB & WhatsApp..(2)

@hszakher @asem_alaa @gharbeia I remember around Sep 2014 then-Facebook started a global initiative to provide free-of-charge mobile internet targeting many 3rd word countries. One of them was Egypt and the initiative operated here roughly for a year before abruptly halting operations. I used it on my daily commute back then.
The catch was that you could only use about 10 services..(1)
