This is an insane story. One input to Israel's dystopian "Lavender AI", which selects targets to be killed by the IDF, is "whether you're in a WhatsApp group with a suspected member of Hamas". Which means that Meta is sharing this data with the IDF, making it directly complicit.
All the more insane because WhatsApp is advertised by Meta as putting privacy first and foremost: "Your privacy is our priority. With end-to-end encryption, you can be sure that your personal messages stay between you and who you send them to." (

*Conditions apply. For instance we may share your private information during a genocide so you and your family are exterminated.

Accusations suggest Meta, via WhatsApp, may share user group metadata, potentially aiding Israeli military targeting in Gaza.
Despite WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption claim, concerns about privacy and complicity in conflict situations persist, heightened by Meta leadership's ties to Israel.
