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."
Columbian cartels are not how I expected that to end
Yeah, that's almost as bad as Zuckerberg and the US having that info
Most Colombian cartels are allied with far-right paramilitary and politician groups. I think Alvaro Urribe is currently going to jail because of his links with such groups.
