Apparently they're also pretty good at shooting people in other countries too.

Nearly everyone I know from India uses WhatsApp so this statement checks out. I wish my own friends and family would stop using iMessage/SMS and use something like Signal. The only other app they use is Snapchat and I kinda hate that one.

Worth reading about for how Facebook locked in markets in developing countries

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Zero

In particular, see the bits on 'Net neutrality criticism' and 'Impact'

TLDR: Accessing Facebook is easier or even free, accessing the rest of the internet costs money. Thus making it so poorer communities only use Facebook, and say that "Facebook is the Internet"

Few quotes:

In 2015, researchers evaluating how Facebook Zero shapes information and communication technology use in the developing world found that 11% of Indonesians who said they used Facebook also said they did not use the Internet. 65% of Nigerians, 61% of Indonesians, and 58% of Indians agree with the statement that "Facebook is the Internet"

[Internet.org] has been criticized for violating net neutrality, and by handpicking internet services that are included, for discriminating against companies not in the list, including competitors of Meta Platforms' subsidiary Facebook.[5][6] In February 2016, regulators banned the Free Basics service in India based on "Prohibition of Discriminatory Tariffs for Data Services Regulations".[7] The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) accused Facebook of failing to pass on the four questions in the regulator's consultation paper and also blocking access to TRAI's designated email for feedback on Free Basics.[8][9] On February 11, 2016, Facebook withdrew the Free Basics platform from India.[10] In July 2017, Global Voices published the widespread[11][12] report[13][14] "Free Basics in Real Life" analyzing its practices in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and concluding it violates net neutrality, focuses on "Western corporate content",[11] and overall "it's not even very helpful".[12]

"Get things done" is incredibly baby-brained liberal idealism. Worse, it's awfully close to an Umberto Eco warning signal about "action for action's sake" which coincides with liberal idealism. That's why so much western entertainment is loaded with "the Adults In The Room" who "Get Shit Done" and that shit getting done is usually atrocities justified by the plot.

Slap this fucker in irons. We don't need billionaire global politics - the game.

And while you're at it get musk too - for interfering in the attack of our ally on an enemy regime.

Who would've thought
