No. Privacy is illegal in the banking/financial system.
Hope they refund everyone who bought this dumpster fire.
It’s not like they owe a lot of money 😂
I hope this encourages studios to make more single player games.
after years of really crappy GPUs, intel finally started making decent ones. It’s probably too late to save intel though…
lemmy.world mods look at reddit for inspiration.
You are the one making up a fantasy scenario to satisfy your authotarian urges.
Dis you miss the entire Snowden revelations? Western governments are hostile to online privacy and freedom.
This is the standard excuse for authoritarian governments. Use a crime category no one can object to.
ANYONE who understood how telegram works and also felt it was a tool for privacy doesn’t really understand privacy in the digital age.
Telegram is the most realistic alternative to breaking Meta’s monopoly. You might like Signal very much, but nobody uses it and the user experience is horrible.
there are plenty of clear cut examples of where telegram should shut down channels - CSAM etc… that’s what this arrest was about; the rest is academic
Was it? The French authorities did not provide any convincing evidence, just accusations.
This is pure nonsense.
Western governments hate Telegram because until now Telegram didn’t cooperate with Western intelligence services like American social media companies do. Everything on Meta or Google gets fed into NSA, but Telegram has been uncooperative.
This will likely change after Durov’s arrest, but it was nice while it lasted.
offffff. less than 200 players
which still use Google services.
Russia tried for years to ban Telegram. They stopped after Telegram managed to keep itself alive by proxies.
Free speech is good. Government regulated speech is bad.
Well, except Telegram isn’t a good tool for privacy.
If Telegram wasn’t good for privacy, Western governments would not be trying to shut it down.
E2EE is nice, but doesn’t matter if the government can just sieze or hack your phone. Much better to use non-Western social media and messaging apps.
They also allow known criminal activity to thrive.
Most scammers I have seen are operating out of Facebook or Instagram.
It definitely helped more people to hear about Wukong. That is how I first heard it too.
