President Maduro of Venezuela denounces
WhatsApp as a spying system
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused
WhatsApp of operating as a spying tool and urged citizens to switch to alternative messaging apps such as Telegram and WeChat.
Speaking at a meeting in Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas, the president asserted, "WhatsApp provided its list of Venezuelan users to Colombian drug traffickers, who then conducted months of espionage."
I've tried explaining this to other people. One guy started talking to me about the Chinese secret police stations....
one idiot from my school I talked to said if you said something bad about China they'd arrest you the moment you went there.
As if China has a government agency in which the workers are just scanning billions upon billions of messages just to pick check if one of the millions of annual tourists says something bad about China
