If you want to change capitalism structure, tearing down privacy tools is not the way to do it.
How much does the equivalent salary at Whatsapp pay?
an app designed to harvest phone numbers isn't a privacy tool lmfao
Of course don't tare down privacy tools. But they don't need 700k a year, that's an unreasonable amount of money that should really be redistributed.
That's definitely wrong. The head of whatsapp is almost certainly an E9 level employee, most likely above. And the average E9 makes like $4M a year
