that's something most people ignore, but i don't think they gone fix it because india's govt. is sleeping on these kind of things
Meta likes profit more than it dislikes CSAM.
People who are using this shit hole of company should be aware that they are part of the problem with every click they do, whenever they message someone on WhatsApp. You are part of the problem
"People who are using this shit of a drug should be aware that they are part of the problem with every line they do, whenever they fetch a bag of cocaine. You are part of the problem"
Which is true as well. It doesn't make them bad people or evil human beings. But they are definitely part of the problem yes, hard to deny that.

Also kinda funny how you compare meta with cocaine

> Which is true as well

Not quite, as if it was, the War on Drugs would succeed. Instead, it failed spectacularly.

People using Meta products are not making an arbitrary choice that happens to be evil. They are using Meta because other people are using Meta (network effect) or because it helps them calm down after a long day (addiction).

You can say they are "technically part of the problem", as in, their usage supports Meta existence in some micro way, but that doesn't warrant the harsh phrasing you've presented in the original comment.

> ...said it found 332 ads featuring CSAM on Instagram and Facebook running in the US, UK, EU, Australia and India.

What has WhatsApp got to do with this? Just because it is Meta?

Are you suggesting WhatsApp is not part of the same evil company that is happy to spam the world with dangerous and horrible ads?
What part of "because it is part of Meta" implies that is not part of Meta?
Than what do you mean with what does it have to do with it? Isn't that obvious then?
That WhatsApp doesn't serve adverts?

I do ask that question.

And no, it's not obvious how a service is bad so if you use a different service then you are just as bad as unrelated people.

What are you even arguing about? WhatsApp does serve ads, obviously.

I don't see any information about adverts in your link.

It talks about having a business WhatsApp number so customers can contact you.
