1. He also said he was going to “cut ties with WhatsApp” as if it were a foreign government. He is really losing it these days.

2. Another weirdo not fit to govern.

3. Proclaims the fascist. I’ve read Wagner has thugs for hire in the area already, I hope they lose.

4. Use [Signal](https://signal.org/?ref=manil.net) if you can.

5. Desperation mode.

6. “VenApp”, aka the official government application, has an option to tell on people participating in “fascist” demonstrations. Make of that what you will.

7. I mean…WhatsApp and apps like it contain plenty of disinformation perpetuated by right wing groups. He’s not wrong

8. Socialist jumping into authoritarianism both feet forward, news at 11.

9. I figured it was because of encrypted messaging so he won’t know/can’t stop people from rising up against him.
