RT:

WhatsApp is threatening users who violate its rules with lawsuits, even if the only evidence of “rule-breaking” exists outside of the Facebook-owned messaging app and the only judge is an AI.

“WhatsApp will take legal action against those we determine are engaged in or assisting others in abuse… even if that determination is based on information solely available to us off our platform,” the company warned in an ominous FAQ entry posted on Monday.

The source is RT, but the FAQ linked in the excerpt does say that. Would we want Kellogg's surveilling us to make sure we're using their corn flakes properly?

    Taking advantage of young women, perhaps? ("Miss use"?)

    Are we worried that poor Miss Use has been misused if the source is RT? realDonaldTrump Can you ask Putin if there was collusion or if the title is a Phoenix666 original?

    I copy & paste the article titles. It's faster.

    The only thing I ever add is a geek reference or a dad joke. I know, I shouldn't add the dad jokes; it's an illness.
