  • Except it is still encrypted to the intended recipient. As the other commenter said, WhatsApp is just another “member” of the group that you can’t see. Basically all they’d have to do is have a server somewhere functioning as a WhatsApp client. Your client sends the message to your intended recipient. It also then sends the message to their “client.” The routing server for the messages can’t decrypt the messages. All the messages are still encrypted per-member of the group and can’t be decrypted until it hits the ends, but WhatsApp is basically a mole siphoning all your messages and storing them.

    If you aren’t arguing that white people have only begun protesting/caring about things now because they think it affects them, then your comic does not make its point clearly.

    In any case, after double-checking, two of the non-white people you directly point out as shot and killed by ICE were undocumented. I’m not actually sure one was even shot since skimming a few sources indicates he fell off a roof and died from that during a raid. Obviously being undocumented doesn’t justify getting killed, but that’s another difference (citizen vs. undocumented noncitizen) between Good and Pretti that you’ve chosen to ignore in favor of solely basing your comic on them being white or not.

    Also, AFAIK the Porter incident doesn’t have video footage (can’t remember if the others do either). The Good and Pretti cases have significant footage, so it’s particularly easy to spread clips over social media.





  • This issue is largely manifesting through AI scraping right now. Additionally, many intentionally ignore robots.txt. Currently, LLM scrapers are basically just bad actors on the internet. Courts have also ruled in favor of a number of AI companies when sued in the US, so it’s unlikely anything will change. Effectively, if you don’t like the status quo, stuff like this is one of your few options.

    This isn’t even mentioning of course whether we actually want these companies to improve their models before resolving the problems of energy consumption and potential displacement of human workers.
