10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried This Week #10 – UK government BUSTED in a secret plot to extract personal data from 2 billion iPhone users. They were this close to your “encrypted” data. This story begins when the UK govt hit Apple with a secret gag order, forcing them to either backdoor encrypted data for billions of users or face criminal charges if they refused to comply. Apple couldn’t even talk about it. The order demanded Apple create a vulnerability in its iCloud encryption, which would have given the UK government a back door to financial information, health records, and private conversations—not just of UK citizens but of two billion iPhone users worldwide. Remember, the UK government has already tried to threaten and extradite individuals outside the UK for violating British censorship laws—including US citizens over their online posts. So what happens when governments push to punish you not just for what you say publicly but for what you say privately? Rather than handing over the data of 2 billion iPhone users to the UK government, Apple chose to pull its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) in the UK—removing the option for UK users to enable encryption. Existing UK users must now disable encryption, and new users won’t have the option at all. US citizens and people in other countries remain unaffected by the UK government’s dystopian push to surveil and censor speech—for now. The UK government was this close to surveilling you, too—but luckily, Sayer Ji, Elon Musk, and The Wall Street Journal exposed this privacy nightmare. In another disturbing development, Imran Ahmed of the CCDH—one of the leading architects of the UK’s war on speech—is being awarded for his Orwellian efforts with a $300,000 prize this May. Sayer Ji has put together a petition to oppose this absurd aggrandizement of someone who has worked tirelessly to annihilate personal freedoms and silence dissenting voices. You can sign that petition here: (See 9 More Revealing Stories Below)

📹 Pavel Durov, in his first video interview in seven years, revealed to Tucker Carlson some fascinating facts about Telegram Messenger, doing business in Dubai and his personal crypto wealth: • Pavel Durov launched ВКонтакте (Russian social media platform) at the age of 21 but had to sell the company and leave the country after refusing to share user data with the Russian authorities. • Durov says his life goal is to give people freedom and privacy. • Telegram is not controlled by the Russian or U.S. governments, yet the FBI allegedly tried to create a backdoor in Telegram Messenger by recruiting one of its developers. Agents also meet Durov at the airport and ask him questions whenever he comes to the United States. • Once, he fought three robbers who tried to steal his phone in San Francisco after meeting Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. • Partially because of that and the attention from U.S. agencies, he decided not to HQ his company there. He was also put off by the bureaucracy in Germany, Britain and Singapore and opted for Dubai as a neutral ground. • Durov received two letters from U.S. senators: Democratic Party senators wanted to get access to the Jan. 6 rioters’ personal data, claiming that otherwise, Telegram violates the U.S. Constitution. The team ignored the request. Later, Republican Party senators sent a conflicting letter stating that the company would have broken the law if it had shared the data. • According to Durov, there’s a lot of pressure coming from Apple and Google, and they have become the #1 source of online censorship. • Durov owns 100% of Telegram and wants to keep it independent, with no plans for an IPO. • Currently, 30 people are working at Telegram. The team doesn’t spend a budget on marketing, yet the user base keeps growing. The goal is to achieve one billion users in the next few years. • Maintaining the current level of privacy is getting harder. There may be a need for protected smartphones to ensure confidentiality in the future, and Durov says he doesn’t trust his phone and assumes he is being tracked. • He was in favor of the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, and Durov believes it will have a positive impact on the social networking industry. • Durov stopped dealing with Mark Zuckerberg after the latter allegedly stole his idea of in-built apps for social media. • Durov has a few hundred million dollars in his bank account and owns $BTC, but he doesn’t spend it on anything, as it would undermine his freedom. Instead, he opts to invest everything back into Telegram.

How Modi Managed “THE MEDIA” To Stay In Power In 2002, Gujarat CM Narendra Modi sat in front of a BBC camera and admitted his one real weakness: “One area where I was very, very weak… that was how to handle the media.” He never forgot that lesson. He just decided the media should never be allowed to become a problem again. Fast forward to 2026. Between March and July, the government sent one blocking order every 68 seconds to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. 1.95 lakh orders in five months. 1,275 every single day. Instagram — the platform students used during the Jantar Mantar protests — received more than 1 lakh of them. Last year the daily average was six. This is not “managing” the media. This is industrial-scale silencing. The same playbook that started with ED and CBI cases against NDTV, the takeover of Network18, and UAPA against NewsClick’s founder is now running on autopilot through the Sahyog portal. Content vanishes in three hours. Often without anyone even seeing the order. A government that needs to issue a takedown every 68 seconds is not confident. It is terrified of what people will say when they are not being watched. That is how you stay in power for this long — not by answering questions, but by making sure the questions never reach the public. When dissent is treated as a security threat and protest as a crime, the media is no longer a watchdog. It is just another department to be controlled. The 2002 admission was honest. The 2026 response is the real story. 68 seconds. That’s how long this government takes to silence you. He admitted one weakness in 2002. He spent the next 24 years making sure it never happened again. sohit mishra
