Founder of Signal, Moxie Marlinspike Marlinspike on Telegram: "Telegrams not a private messenger. There's nothing private about it. It's the opposite. It's a cloud messenger where every message you've ever sent or received is in plain text in a database that telegram the organization controls and has access to it" "It's like 'Russian oligarch starts unencrypted version of WhatsApp', a pixel for pixel clone of WhatsApp. That should be kind of a difficult brand to operate. And somehow, they've done a really amazing job of convincing the whole world that this is an encrypted messaging app and that the founder is some kind of Russian dissident, even though he goes there once a month, the whole team lives there, and their families are there." " What happened in France is they just chose not to respond to the subpoena. And so that's in violation of the law. And, he gets arrested in France, right? And everyone's like, oh, France, but I think the key point is they have the data, like they can respond to the subpoenas where as Signal, for instance, doesn't have access to the data and couldn't respond to that same request. To me it's very obvious that Russia would've had a much less polite version of that conversation with Pavel Durov and the telegram team before this moment. "

🚨 STARTING DECEMBER 16TH, META WILL BEGIN READING YOUR DMs - EVERY MESSAGE, PHOTO & VOICE NOTE FED INTO AI FOR PROFIT Meta is rolling out a new policy that lets them use your private conversations to train their AI - unless you manually opt out. That means: • Every DM you’ve ever sent • Every photo • Every voice memo • Every private chat with friends, family, partners, clients • Even messages people send to you All of it can be fed into their AI models. And yes - they made the opt-out process intentionally confusing and desktop-only so most people won’t do it. This video explains exactly how to stop it. If you don’t do this, Meta can legally use every private thing you’ve ever sent to train their AI - starting December 16th. This is not a drill. Would YOU trust Meta with your private DMs?

Common Urdu words that you can easily replace with Hindi. Stop using Naseeb, use Bhagya. No more Hamla, use Aakraman. Instead of Kila, use Durg. In a few days, Urdu will be just a memory.

Using Bitcoin on a Trezor or any hardware wallet is fine, but storing your trust in that device is not. I wipe my Trezor device every time I use it. I re-enter my 24 words on my Trezor device every time I need to use it again.

🚨Candace Owens is made to look like a “BIG FAT LIAR” by Andrew Wilson. After six months of Candace asserting that Erika Kirk lied - claiming she hadn’t seen Charlie Kirk’s warning about a threat to his life from the Left because it was sent on an encrypted app, not iMessage - Candace insisted she had a “source” who told her the message was sent via iMessage. Andrew Wilson has finally published the message, showing that it does indeed appear to have been sent on an encrypted messaging app (likely Telegram or Signal) and not iMessage - backing up Erika Kirk’s account and what she originally told Candace to her face during their sit-down back in December. What seems to have received nowhere near enough attention is that Candace Owens appears to have known about this message since October. She had allegedly received it from her source - a message in which Kirk specifically warned about the possibility of being killed by the Left, not Israel. From the very beginning, this message directly undermined the entire premise Candace was pushing. Candace appears to have completely ignored it and pretended it didn’t exist.

🚨Candace Owens clocked it in real time: muscular men, alone, wearing maroon, not together, not talking—just present when Charlie Kirk got hit. That’s not fashion. That’s a formation in plain clothes. The maroon beret has been the universal symbol of airborne elite forces since 1942. Someone sent a message that day. The question is who.
