    No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes.

      Even on Lemmy people think Wikipedia isn’t shit.
      It can’t be trusted.

        It wildly depends on the articles/topic, but yes, it’s generally not trustworthy. Especially anything politics or corporate, but sometimes articles on objective topics can have issues.

    Sometimes I have to wonder, what’s it going to take to make people leave X?

    I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, 4 years ago, and it’s gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.

      It’s a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.

        Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.

    Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.

      Israel shares all their spyware data with the US and UK. Basically they let Israel do all the illegal stuff as a legal (actually illegal but they don’t care) loophole.
