No. My point was that 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) are not the same thing. The important point to note in this case is: "501(c)(4) organizations may engage in unlimited lobbying in furt…

You're interpretation of it isn't wrong. You're still wrong in asserting that it wasn't presentes as a fact in the article. It clearly, linguistically is.

"..., stealing users from WhatsApp ..." Genuinely curious about this statement. Is it tantamount to theft if the user migrates by choice?
