"Unpopular opinion", sure, how brave of you. Simple: they sure love to talk a big game about responsibilities and taking responsibilities. Until it's time to actually do it. For the good of the company of course (if the compa

I'll bet everything I have they haven't destroyed the sample. Honest and sincere question: why would you even use their service in the first place?

Have you not paid attention to twitter since he bought it? The guy has been forcing his accounts and shit takes onto everyone's timelines. Accounts have mysteriously started following his account when they never manually did it. Muting

A wonder weapon that makes the enemy feel hangover. Damn, I don't know who financed it but they need to get their money back.

You know, the sort of weapon everyone agrees is not possible or feasible at this stage. And definitely not a hysterical reaction based on some people who faked the most common symptoms ever and tried to make it look like something it wasn&#

That's how successful Telegram's PR has been. People believe - like you do - that it's end to end encrypted. It's not. The secret chats presumably are (if you trust Telegram). Secret chats are 1 to 1. So anything outside

Yeah, and do you think France is going to arrest Durov on the Kremlin's request. Fun fact: the Russian government and high ranking officials are outraged by the arrest and are asking the Russian state to pressure France into releasing

by a0123 2y ago
About the custody thing, he's an extremely high flight risk. If the French authorities are serious about his arrest and it's not just a dumb PR move, there is absolutely no chance he's going to be released. Not without 24&#x2

The fun fact is that while Telegram won't make use of something akin to PicDNA to automatically detect CSAM, it will very happily take down your channel or group if you distribute copyrighted material. They do know how to respond to co

The Telegram fanatics for some reason are unwilling to hear it but we'll say it again: the reason why we still have an Internet in 2024 is that all those services at least attempt some form of moderation. With more or less success,

by a0123 2y ago
Durov has been shilling his crypto scams while shitting on all those services you're talking about (well, at least Signal) claiming they don't do anything for privacy. Considering how he's tarnished Signal, there is absolutel

by a0123 2y ago
To be clear, the legislation in France and in the EU that is most likely behind this arrest is that companies have to at least try to do some moderation. There is an understanding that not everything can be moderated (obviously, the entire

This and the sexual blackmail the network fully permits. Although it's my understanding they have been doing slightly better when it comes down to children (the fact it was made possible in the first place is unbelievable though). Not

People got used to a fairly simple and efficient UI. Version 3 was a bit of an abrupt change. A bit like today when your favourite social network completely revamps its UI for no apparent reason and makes it look fancier without adding any

A remnant of simpler times. Foobar and VLC, any other software that has always worked and remained pretty much the same?

Yeah, they just forgot to report 59.869280705993% instead of 60%. They would have got away with it too, if it weren't for those cunning statisticians. They just forgot to come up with a random, credible number. Happens to the best of u

No you see, they had the perfect plan. But they got foiled by that one thing they always forget at every single election (that never gets brought up when your government agrees with the result, because in that case it's just a "st

idk, a lot of system are never meant to be rebooted outside of the update schedule, so they wouldn't have been off in the first place. And if those systems control others, then there is a domino effect. I can see very well how one comp

Especially since I'm assuming those organisations pay good money for those services (my org hasn't been affected and we don't use them but we're also very small so I wouldn't know).

Can't use X like that anymore. Makes it sound like you're talking about the site formerly known as Tiwtter.

We keep having "anti child exploitation" measures, like all the bloody time. It's been decades by now. And the problem keeps getting worse. So either it's just not working whatsoever and this is useless and should stop.

Yes, but the current design and direction are very clearly not working. You can hardly blame them for trying to emulate what's currently working for everyone else when everything you've tried so far has led to your downfall.
