"Deep fakes of her talking about the glory of India should be all over Indian WhatsApp groups, but even Modi propagandists know that'd be bad PR."
"Whatsapp has enabled these people to have 8 hour "phonecalls" with half a dozen of their buddies back home, plugging every moment of their day with mindless chatter and avoiding any potential confrontation with their own thoughts. For the ones living in the west, assimilation cannot work if their ol"
"no participation in WhatsApp banter throughout the day... still worth it though."
"This is in my class' Whatsapp chat. We had a discussion about an article in which an economist claimed that ecology was more important than feminism."
"Then yesterday I get a message on Whatsapp from someone who isn't a contact. It's the guy, he asked the priest for my number and asks me if I'm free this week for a chat."
"For some reason, I was so enamored by him showing interest in the book I was reading, that I left him a note with my phone number. We started talking on WhatsApp, met twice while I was still in Portugal, then he visited me in Poland and now I flew back to Portugal to see him again."

"They sent the results to me a few hours later via WhatsApp. I forwarded that message to the doctor who replied with a nice voice message confirming the diagnosis and telling me what to get from the pharmacy – whole operation took about four hours."
"I know it's too good to be true and this incident is probably part of a larger psyop or social experiment but I feel genuinely giddy at the thought of exclusively using reddit, discord and bitchute for the rest of my days."
"I personally have started to use them alot less after using them alot in the '10-'19 years. I'm mainly now just talking to friends in WhatsApp and closed off niche communities on Discord."
"This morning she writes me "I got date raped tonight, I blocked the guy but could you please WhatsApp him and ask him if he has HIV, he had weird dots on his chest and now I'm freaking out""
