Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.

The point of the post isn't to praise the pagers attack. It's to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.

Outrage, yes, but what about decreased usage? What's the effect on revenue and stock price? C-suite pay?

In 2020, Marc Benioff, the co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, declared to the New York Times that “it’s time for a new kind of capitalism: stakeholder capitalism, which recognizes that our companies have a responsibility to all our stakeholders”.

And how is our current system not already an extreme version of this???

Have they considered doubling the number of prisons and providing police with tanks?

That's the classic "If I owe you $5 it's my problem. If I owe you $5B it's your problem."

Signal takes steps to reduce the amount of metadata visible, like sealed sender which makes it so that Signal doesn't know who sent a message. Even your payment information for donations is separated from your identity so that they know you are a donor, but not how you donated.

It desn't matter if Signal were hosted on Putin's personal servers. Its security is in its protocol, it's not trust based.
