Well yes. Israel always retaliates disproportionately. Yet Hamas keep repeating their attacks expecting Allah will magically produce a different result. Commonly known as the very definition of stupidity.
Are you implying they caused more injuries on October 7 than Hamas?
Telegram group chats are unencrypted
Not quite true. They are server-side encrypted, not end-to-end. Still bad and I had no idea until I looked it up just now (thanks to you).
I use Gboard keyboard on my phone which undermines my Signal privacy. I could use my laptop instance of Signal to prevent leakage.
Telegram successfully fought against attempt of blocking in Russia in 2018 by providing regular updates and using different techniques to avoid blocking.
I too heard Russia claimed they could not block it. Could be deliberate theatre to bolster its reputation.
It seems Russia has a back door key into Telegram.
Edit: Russia is complaining about the arrest.
Pavel Durov has visited Russia more than 50 times since his “exile” in 2014
I think you and most people in this thread have been mislead by the article because of the closing remark.
Beyond terrorism, the most dangerous pedophiles communicate on Telegram to exchange content.
But it isn’t the private stuff he is being prosecuted for though AFAIK (although it might have been reported by “traitors” within those chats).
Unlike Signal, there are public chat groups and channels and I presume these are the ones which got him into trouble for propagating illegal activity.
From another article…
terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen goods and others… he allowed an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed, which he did nothing to moderate
The platform has faced issues of misinformation and hate speech, especially antisemitic speech following October 7, 2023.
Can someone please paraphrase the following which I didn’t understand?
Somebody raised to believe they have high IQ is more likely to fall for this than somebody raised to think less of their own intellectual capabilities. Subjective validation is a quirk of the human mind. We all fall for it.
But if you think you’re unlikely to be fooled, you will be tempted instead to apply your intelligence to “figure out” how it happened. This means you can end up using considerable creativity and intelligence to help the psychic fool you by coming up with rationalisations for their “ability”.
And because you think you can’t be fooled, you also bring your intelligence to bear to defend the psychic’s claim of their powers. Smart people (or, those who think of themselves as smart) can become the biggest, most lucrative marks.
Blasts is only six letters. Slams is only five. That is why they get used in headlines so often.
The mocking attitude is a thing here in Australia. And people boast about themselves getting wasted. Seemed the opposite in the EU when I visited.
to the point of being an apartheid state that treats non-Jewish citizens worse
Maybe in practice, but certainly not in law.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that “Arab Israelis are citizens of Israel with equal rights” and states that “The only legal distinction between Arab and Jewish citizens is not one of rights, but rather of civic duty. Since Israel’s establishment, Arab citizens have been exempted from compulsory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).”
You are describing our Chimpanzee cousins but not our Bonobo cousins.
Secular democracy for Palestinians? That is delusional.
When Palestinians ain’t leaving and Israelis ain’t leaving there is no other realistic option (regardless of our political leaning and whether we think Jews have a right to statehood in that part of the world.).
Here’s hoping the publicity boosts his career and encourages discussions about legalisation of weed in Romania.
It would have been seen by terrorists as a reward for Oct 7 and encourage further attacks.
OTOH establishing a Palestinian state would have been a precursor to a 2SS which is a hopeful path towards peace.
Likud (and Hamas) are both against a 2SS therefore, as you say, this vote count is no surprise.
No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.
Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?
Isn’t spoofing a phone number easy for scammers? If so, I don’t understand why there is (admittedly) so little spam on Signal.
Does Signal require 2FA upon registration? (I cannot recall)
Fair enough but it is not the responsibility of the joker to satisfy your tangential curiosity.
I do appreciate that you are not saying it is. You are merely making whimsical conversation, but the number of upvotes you are getting look like desperately eager anti-AI cultists jumping on board.
How do we know this one word comment is not itself “AI drivel”?
As soon as I saw it on Facebook I didn’t even look closely before deciding it wasn’t a sheet folding machine.
Regardless of the crazy dimensions for such a task, I doubt the start of the industrial revolution would be automating this of all things.
Also: “3 sheets per hour”.

Die? Hyperbolic much? Gazans weren’t being killed in the weeks leading up to Oct 7.
I suggest Gazans could have used the aid money they were receiving for decades to build infrastructure rather than ripping up water pipes to build missiles.
