#3Sounds like a psyop article designed to make you feel like wanting to keep WhatsApp yourself. xD

#4All the major social media and messaging platforms are compromised and serve as tools for surveillance, so the Iranian government isn't wrong.

#7I find the wordsmithery on Meta's statement the most interesting:
“We do not track your *PRECISE* location, we don’t keep logs of who everyone is messaging and we do not track the *PERSONAL* messages people are sending one another," it added. “We do not provide *BULK* information to any government.”

Iraq and Gaza was an absolute joke compared to what it would take to topple the Iranian militants, militias, and government.
Much of the terrain is similar to Afghanistan. Tribal islamic alliances are resilient against loss of central governance. There is a massive porous mountainous border to 2+ countries that conceivably will look the other way for certain islamic militants.
I know everyone wants to gobble down the campaign about complete air superiority and toppling of leaders, and that WhatsApp may be separating the regime from 52 virgins, but realize this is a propaganda campaign. This initial propaganda only serves to manufacture consent long enough to buy citizens in to blood so they can't back out. We're in the process of being tricked.

If you read around their points, it sounds like they track general location, log group messages, and provide specific information on request to a government.
