Lol… Imagine when then Normie’s useage of westoid softslop turns into a national security issue
Meta got Israeli spooks within ints corporate structure. All of the mega corps have these vermin. They are every where. US spooks are are also there. But I don’t get why they permit Israelis in…
Everyone should delete these spyware tools from their devices.
Now when you say “asks”…

I can’t believe i agree with iran.
what’s unbelievable about it
Authoritarian Islamic fundamentalism.
Awww, you’ve been reading newspapers again.
oh honey
why do you think it’s that way
I’m well aware that the British and US lead a coup to reinstall the Shah, which ultimately caused the Iranian Revolution. Islamic fundamentalism was definitely not the answer.
You sure have a lot of fucking attitude for someone criticizing people for not being your slaves. Pretty crazy you have the fucking nerve to criticize in the first place. Almost like you think they should have stayed your slaves and that would have been better.
the new york times told me so i repeat every chance i get.
As opposed to western “Divine Secular Absolutism”? Real funny looking words you got there, when stringed together.
Authoritarianism is a dumb, useless and meaningless term, when you understand that every state assumes authority (name me one country that doesn’t assume authority, therefore isn’t “authoritarian”).
1979 happened because you libs couldn’t stop trying to meddle in Iran’s affairs.
Coulda saved spared us from the dogwhistle by just saying “they’re not white”.
Imagine trying to explain the concept of authority like a dipshit and then end it with an accusation of racism.
Could never be me lmao.
Authoritarian as in not allowing westerners to take over the country resources.
insert burger index goodness report here
No, Authoritarian as in not allowing women to have basic human rights.
This is why I don’t like tankies. You claim to be leftist but always support countries with right-wing policies. Lemmygrad has turned your brain to mush.
tankies
Mom, I said it again
There are thousands of videos of foreigneirs strolling in Iran where you can see women walking around freely, the narrative youre spewing is a stupid propaganda point to justify a bloody war with Iran.
There is no such thing as a “leftist” that supports a bloody invasion to “liberate women”.
Noooooo Karl Marx would absolutely support capitalist dropping nuclear bombs on Iranian children
God damn, and here I thought Americans were brainwashed. How are you completely unaware of the protests and uncovered women being kidnapped by government officials? I refuse to believe that someone can be this ignorant of world events. They’re walking around uncovered because they’re protesting the hijab mandate, you fucking donkey. But it’s still a law, designed to oppress women.
But of course you’re already aware of this, so I don’t know why I’m bothering. Nobody can be this ignorant. You’re obviously trolling.
Every state has authority over its citizens but some of them let women drive and not have to stay covered up and unable to move around or do anything eithout a man and don’t support child marriage.
Hope this distinction helps!
To be clear fuck Israel they started this shit with Iran and I dont support it. But for you to say Iran isn’t authoritarian is ignorant of the facts.
How dare you criticize sharia in a lemmy.ml community you liberul??? The only thing that Iran is guilty of out of all the stuff that you listed is that they have mandatory clothing laws, but it’s really just a cultural choice really, you’re just brainwashed by the West’s Divine Secular Absolutism which allows people to dress… freely😱😱😱. And 9 y.o. children getting married isn’t a state policy you propagandist! It’s just legal, that doesn’t make it a state policy now does it?
And you’re wrong!!! Women are allowed to drive in Iran. They just can’t leave the country or anything without her husband’s permission, and make sure that her hijab is not loose or she might get killed by state police.
I hope with the replies of Lemmy’s beautiful Erdoganists, you have come to realize that Iran isn’t a shithole Yet Another Middle Eastern Reactionary Shariah, it’s a Far-Left Utopian Theocracy.
TLDR: Just switch to Lemmy.World’s c/privacy ffs
out of these things you said, so far iran is guilty of only requiring women to stay covered and, to a degree, child marriage (it’s not a state policy, but marriage with girls as young as 9 years old is legal). as far as i know women in iran can drive (the last country where women were not allowed to drive was US ally saudi arabia) and are free to move around, work, study and such, notwithstanding the challenges that women face there (legal discrimination and the oppression that they suffer just by living in a capitalist country).
however, the liberation of women in iran won’t come imposed by other nation states, especially the western capitalist ones, and certainly won’t come as a result of a war against israel. they don’t give a damn about the iranian people, be they women, queer, religious or ethnic minorities. the sionist establishment just want anyone that menace their grip over middle east off their necks, and that’s what the iranian bourgeoisie are doing right now.
if you ask me what i think would be better, the working classes of both countries would team up to seize their military apparatuses and turn them against their elites. if that’s not possible, anything that hurts western imperialism gives the world a small victory, regardless of whoever achieves them. we can take care of whoever punches the west later.
is ignorant of the facts.
didn’t google if Iran allows women to drive
The Enlightened Centrist has entered the chat!
Of course you focus on women because that’s the desirable group of objects of which you most desire, so you project your desires on to “helpless”, “hapless” women who need your “civilized” and “noble” ass “saving” from these “dirty barbaric orcs”.
Every state has authority over its citizens but some of them let women drive
Women can drive in Iran.
not have to stay covered up
As opposed to Europeans depriving women of their dignities and forcing them to stay as uncovered as possible?
Dear white people of France: being forced to undress wasn’t exactly the liberation I was longing for
Palestinian women detail Israeli sexual assaults in Kamal Adwan raid
unable to move around or do anything eithout a man
Iranian women can move around freely, it was definitely a much bigger case then for sure, but nowadays it’s literally a non-issue…
don’t support child marriage.
One nitpick on your post, you posted the age of concent not the age of allowable marrage, in in some places those are diffrent numbers
This from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_States shows the earliest allowable marrage age in each state, and I promise you California’s age of concent is greater than 0
I deliberately did that to basically demonstrate Western chauvinism in its rawest form. It’s greater magnitudes more fucked up than anything chauvinists blab about. Also what the fuck is California lol.
I have never seen evidence that women are not allowed to drive, and I have had Iranians tell me the contrary. IRNA Irans state news if it was not down from likely DDOS I would show you posted an immage of one of the dead from Israels attack, was a women without a head covering, agian there is no evidence I can find that it is a law, just a large cultural preference. Same think with a women in Iran being dependent on a man, I have seen no evidence for this outside of the Western press.
I just want to ask a clarification, are you saying anti-child marriage is a bad thing???
But for you to say Iran isn’t authoritarian is ignorant of the facts.
We are not ignorant of the facts, but you are ignorant of your carrying water for Western imperialism. Which is understandable thanks to a lifetime of propaganda, but it’s never too late to stop.

I am asking the world to delete Meta apps. Please.
Currently trying to delete WhatsApp and people I know are giving me a hard time…
I have already done as you ask!
rooted device? If not… No its not uninstalled
That’s a bit extreme to worry about. If the app is disabled and has no permissions, it can’t run or share your data with Meta. It’s just sitting there wasting storage space.
What? Your phone came with Facebook in the system image?
Naturally. After all, Meta pays the manufacturers to integrate and pre-install their stuff. As I said, this includes not only the apps you see in the launcher but also the services for integration in other apps, etc. If you really think Meta would do without such a treasure trove of data, you’re being naive.
my last android didn’t have it preinstalled
Which one was that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_smartphones
Which carrier?
The freedom of Android means that there are tens of thousands of variations of devices / os versions / carriers all with different states of being close or far to vanilla and being more or less locked down. There’s a reason Graphene only officially supports Pixels.
want my social security number while we’re at it?
one of them.
Neither did mine… But it’s got Google all up in it.
yes well google makes android, facebook owns whatsapp….
if you want to fully degoogle your android you have to root it and install a different ROM….
nothing to do with whatsapp thoughRight, I was just saying I’ve never had meta on here. And id like to get rid of Google too but… Pixel 9 😅
Pixels are the best phones to change ROMs (it’s peculiar but it’s true). Take a look at GrapheneOS. I’m running it on a Pixel 7 Pro and all my apps work.
i mean, Android is made by google….
but i think the pixel is particularly well supported by 3rd party roms…
seems doable: https://xdaforums.com/f/google-pixel-9.12879/
banking apps and some others don’t like if your phone is rooted though…
I’m not just talking about the apps that can be accessed via the launcher. But also other services/modules that cannot be accessed via the launcher.
well a claim like that deserves a source
Stuff like this as example (well not the 2 Last entrys)
Oh yes, of course, if you want to completely prevent communication to Meta with a customized host file, you can’t avoid root or a solution that then sets up a local VPN so that it can be blocked, but then no other vpn is functional.
Meta services is a dependency for fb messanger. But can be uninstalled with adb or canta
Lol there was…
iOS. Commence the hate bombs.
Haha. Well, I can criticize Apple for a lot of things, but Alphabet with Android as well. Especially with Apple, I don’t know what is pre-installed and how deeply anchored in the system. With Android, I would also prefer to be able to remove all the bloatware without root.
I am actually very confident that Apple is selling what is almost certainly an enormous amount of my PHI to minimal buyers, if any. That’s not where they make their money, and they have no interest in it, and one of their main selling points is that they don’t do it.
Now, over the years, Apple has enshittified to an increasingly maddening degree, however—having worked at the Apple Store for five years some time ago—I can say that I think at the core of the company, it’s just not quite as evil in these terms as, say, Meta and Google. I think it’s a pretty informed, educated opinion to have. I know that many people disagree, especially in this community. And that’s fair.
I would actually be all about setting up my own ecosystem for smart home and sync and media library with Linux if it weren’t so frigging much work and so difficult that, honestly, it would take me forever and I probably would not achieve success. So, as objectively bad as the Apple ecosystem has become, it is sadly the best alternative out there, in my humble opinion.
Indeed, the “evilness” of apple is really directed more frontally at app developers. That’s their cash cow.
And now they apparently treat their own develops like shit. At least, according to an article I just read. There’s a lot to get angry about with them, for sure. It was NOT like this back in 2007.
Well, in the end, everyone has to decide what they are happier with anyway. Even though I use Linux, I can understand that people also prefer to work seamlessly in the Apple Ecosystem. I can’t comment on the smart home. I don’t have any problems there, but I build my own things that the average user might not be interested in.
What do you have? Samsung?
Xiaomi (but i got other Brands too). With hyperOS (Android based) < because of the previous history with the trade dispute over Huawei. Nevertheless, even there you will find various apk’s from Meta that are integrated into the system.
My Meta account got locked without explanation and support couldnt tell me why, but suspiciously right after they implemented their new policies allowing hate speech but also I had deleted all of my posts going back to 2006 not long before that and had only been using it fir groups, so it wasn’t as big of an impact so wasn’t worth suing them to find out why I was locked out exactly or to start a new account.
They can restore everything you deleted tbh
Prolly assuemd your are “threat” actor tho since why would anyone do tha!?
We unfortunately have a school group chat on Instagram, so maybe in 2 years. And we also have family group chat on WhatsApp.
“We do not provide bulk information to any government.”
Millions of dollars on the other hand…
