Hunter’s laptop ? Are you serious right now ? The founder of Meta owns WhatsApp, right ? Why is no one talking about the targeting of Palestinian children using WhatsApp and Meta in Gaza ? Specifically, I’m talking about the 4 day old twins that were targeted and murdered along with their mother and grandmother when their father left to pick up the Twins birth certificates . Please ask Zuckerberg about that .
