Alternative title: People creeped out after woman discovers what tech literate people have been saying to do for a decade

Same can be said for any field, academic or not. For example, it won't do any good to dismiss cancer awareness campaigns because doctors have been saying about it for decades. It's for the public's benefit, and everyone deserves privacy.

In my country, we had been saying that the government was doing business with Israel, even though they were condemning on every public forum. It took only 1 journalist until the whole public saw the hypocrisy. 1 journalist against all TV channels and internet trolls. (Here 95% of all TV channels are sponsored by government).

I remember telling this years ago, yet this man, who also had to leave the country for his other journalist work said it at the right time with the right tools.

So, what I get this is, don't stop telling the truth. Even though nobody listens now, people will when the right time comes.

what's wrong with doing business with Israel? I believe most countries do so... and they have some of the smartest engineers in the world.

In case you somehow missed the news: they're currently killing lots of innocent people in Gaza. Not doing business w/ Israel puts pressure on the Israeli government to stop doing that.

does it? has that ever worked for any country?

Idk, but most of the time that happens with pariahs, like Russia or N. Korea. Israel is friendly with a lot of western nations and not friendly with pretty much everyone else, so sending a message could certainly work here.

I actually don't think it works. It's better if we retaliate in the same way Israel does.

What 7 October taught is the hypocrisy of our leaders. I am specifically talking about Muslim leaders and Erdogan, but in general I think this is also true.

There isn't a soul in your country that isnt aware cancer exists.

Cancer you say? Like the star sign?

But seriously the campaigns are about spotting signs and importance of early treatment

Why is the person's gender relevant?

Because it's in the title of the post

and why is it there? I still don't get the relevance

Because the information is known, so it's mentioned. It's the same as if it was a man who did it.

In this case, it's because it was from a specific TikTok creator.

It's the same as if it was a man who did it.

then why is it being called out as if there was a difference? that's what I don't understand.

Same reason headlines say "Florida Man" and not "Florida Human"

I don’t think it is but the headline clearly mimics a standard newspaper headline. I don’t think it’s trying to say something about genders, just saying something about how media communicates.
