If goons are killing you for having an app you don't need more apps, you need a gun.

You are right but as German if I made that point publicly in regards to Palestine I would get arrested. I am not exaggerating It is crazy how we have dehumanized Palestinians to the point that just hinting on the fact that they might have a right to resist it completely taboo. Like you don't have to agree with their methods but expecting them to do nothing while Israel murders them and the world looks away is such a…

I imagine Gaza may currently be one of the most difficult environments to write software code in. I happily admit that I would not be able to be productive in such an environment - my environment here in Europe is really quite sheltered (guess this also depends on where one lives; areas close to Russia may not feel as comfortable as in central Europe or Western Europe). The only distraction I have here is youtube mus…

Why are international journalists banned from entering Gaza then?

No, Gaza is in rubble. The people are starving to death. A man made famine made by Israel in hopes to ethnically cleanse the land.

How do Google and Microsoft prevent their tech from being used toward genocidal/settler ends against civilians?

Umm they don’t sell to Hamas but I could be wrong.

They do sell to Israel, which uses the tech to commit mass-atrocities against civilians.

Everyone knows that's not true, and it's also why journalists aren't yet allowed to be freely roaming around. And just because someone is coping with whatever conditions doesn't make them happy, so sitting and chatting while having some coffee in the middle of the rubble won't change the fact that their house got demolished, and having an iPhone which was mostly acquired before the war doesn't mean this person hasn't lost probably all their family. This is a stupid argument, let the world journalists in and let the whole world see of they are lying or not, but we all know that won’t happen.

Yeah, it must suck to get brutally JDAM'd (along with your whole family [0] ), sniper-droned (seeking to main and kill [1] ) and mown down by "gaza humanitarian foundation" machine-gun fire (while queueing for food) [2] in Palestine, just for disagreeing with israel's position that your land now belongs to them. If you're lucky, you won't be thrown into one of israel's rape-and-torture-camps [3][4] . But anyways, gre…

Hamas is is a totalitarian theocracy that kills opponents to it.

Hamas is killing traitors from criminal gangs who aligned with Israel during the conflict in the hopes of getting their 30 pieces of silver.

Is it their job to do that?

> Is it their job to do that? Not that. But it should be someone’s job to monitor if Hamas adopts it.

That is an external problem to the bitchat app.
