Is this real news? I see no mentions of primary sources, and when I do a google search I find some much older articles with much more context and nuance.

I’m not sure I believe this in any way. It is taking quotes out of context, and creating an exaggeration.

So clicking the wired link in the post then doing ctrl+f I found where they are getting this from https://www.wired.com/story/bill-gates-on-covid-most-us-test...

I think wired is generally not out there trying to libel people. I am honesty curious why Gates has been out of the public sphere for over ten years but is suddenly out there shilling against crypto for 'the children'.

>“Some of the messages on their platform, they don’t even see because of the encryption on WhatsApp,” Gates said. “In order to not have any responsibility, they’ve made that opaque. You know, so whatever the issues — anti-vaccine, child pornography — they have made sure they can’t intervene on those things.”

Ah the classic "why wont anyone think of the children" reasons.

Pretty much every freedom facilitates crime in one way or another.

Nice equivocation of CP and asking critical questions about vaccine safety.
