Request: add "whatsappborea" meme to controversies
There has been reports of a meme called "whatsappborea", which mirrors Nazism to WhatsApp, replacing many Nazi symbolism and terminology with WhatsApp, while labeling FaceBook Messenger as "cabel". The hashtag has since been removed by TikTok.
Since the editnotice is template-protected and the talk page redirects here, would it be possible to add a message about not posting private information to the talk page? A lot of people somehow mistake this for customer support and end up posting their own phone numbers (or sometimes emails) there. ChaotıċEnby(t · c)18:58, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've semi-protected the talk page. I like your suggestion, but I don't believe a stronger edit notice will help – people tend not to see edit notices when editing from a mobile device. – bradv19:02, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's relevant as a bit of context. UAE bans app to promote its telecoms - their telecoms are reported to distribute spyware, simple as that. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 07:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That piece of information is extra, and unneeded here because it's disputed and controversial and misleading when mentioned just like that without further context and that's why it should be analyzed in larger context in it's own article not here. To make it within the policies, we should mention the app's company opinion and the UAE's opinion on it to meet the WP:DUE, which as I said earlier, not suitable here. ☆SuperNinja2☆TALK!11:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"because it's disputed and controversial and misleading"
Disputed by which reputable sources? Cite them, please. Controversial in what way? Misleading in what way?
"To make it within the policies, we should mention the app's company opinion and the UAE's opinion on it"
That is not what WP:DUE says and WhatsApp itself doesn't have an opinion on TokTok, at least one mentioned in the article. The factoid included in the article is strictly about the dubious idea to block WhatsApp calls and the reasons for it. It can be made more neutral by adding information on UAE's stated motives, but that's already present, in a capacity. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 19:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wiki Education assignment: Research Process and Methodology - SP24 - Sect 201 - Thu
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 4 March 2024 and 4 May 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Ef2467 (article contribs).
Perhaps it's worth noting that you can access the official WhatsApp (no third-party app) on the iPad by simply adding a shortcut of the web version to the home screen. It works just fine and feels pretty much like a native app, and that's how I've been using it for a long time now. Granted, you don't get notifications and it takes a few seconds to load, so an official app would still be welcomed. Maxeto0910 (talk) 22:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
