  • The USA is not going to collapse into the Stone Age any time soon and anyone who was saying such things was delusional. The USA will be one of the poles of the multipolar world.

    You are acting like this news in the article is a huge surprise when it is in fact not surprising that eventually the facility would match capabilities of other similar facilities. It is not a particularly yuge achievement to merely replicate what they could already do. The fact that it was delayed so long is embarrassing however.

    This is part of a larger trend of the USA stripping valuables from its vassals as discussed in earlier threads. The vassals in Europe have already been severely damaged and the libs who were planning to move to Europe are probably reconsidering those plans.



  • Like most of the “encrypted” chat apps, TG was mostly not E2E encrypted, meaning TG or whoever has access to its servers could read everything. Plus there is probably a backdoor which allows the E2E messages to be cracked by whoever wrote the code.

    Mr Durov is now blocked from leaving France, and may be forever. Effectively France has seized control of the TG. What they will do with it is unclear.

    Maybe TG will follow a similar fate to Reddit. Founder Aaron Swartz pushed to suicide by the capitalist dictatorship. Reddit later blamed for everything wrong with the USA and forced to ban most of its users.


  • TG most likely was already compromised long ago. Its based in UAE, a regime subject to USA influence, and probably already has backdoors and/or NSA monitoring. Founder is probably some sort of Westaboo or lolbert.

    Most of TG is not encrypted anyway and is no more private than Twitter which many users had previously been on. I note they recently added E2E encryption for some “Secret chats”, but keep in mind that metadata cannot be encrypted. If it is true that Russia’s military is using it, they are very foolish to do so.

    On the censorship thing, apparently they have already banned many groups after threats of legal action.
