It's factual reporting that happens to be inconvenient to Hamas apologists.<p>It's also corroborated by the atrocities against innocent civilians that these monsters <i>gleefully filmed themselves</i> committing on October 7th, such as attacking children with grenades.</p>

<p>Is this a principle you apply universally? For example, do you oppose U.S. companies providing technical support for Ukraine's justified war aims, such as Starlink?<p>I've seen no indication that simply protesting is seen as "not ok". But trespassing on private property, or worse blocking bridges, goes quite beyond "protest" and freedom of speech.</p>

<p>Is there any data on how many of these new users are WhatsApp refugees vs. Parler refugeees vs. some other category?<p>In principle it shouldn't matter. But I'm worried userbase demographics will determine from which quarter the next legislative threat to end-to-end encryption emerges.</p>

<p>> 3. Hit by car. Unneutered pets are much more likely to escape randomly and get hit by cars. Even pets that normally do not run away from their owners.<p>Is there evidence of a causal relationship here?</p>
