Gregory's Server@Brendanjones These signs are there for (predominantly) young female travelers who have to endure all kinds of threatening behaviour we cannot even imagine. The wording, and use of WhatsApp, was chosen to absolutely minify any barrier for them to reach out for assistance. I see a thread here of angry old men who feel their rights are being violated by this laudible approach to trying to keep women safer. Anger is better focused to other places in society where we can reduce big tech dependence.

@Brendanjones I see many people being angry in this thread ("scandal", "horrible" etc). I think it cannot be done better: SMS is available but in this case the lowest absolute barrier for the target audience (and I believe that young girls will be more comfortable with WA) is in my opinion more important than the dependency on big tech |
@twijs Who’s angry? I just see something that can be done better.
