    The Russian-made app, according to a new report from Guardio, has, in recent times, evolved into a thriving center where experienced cybercriminals and beginners can openly share illegal tools and knowledge—a "scammers paradise." As a result, a dark and well-organized supply chain of tools and victims' data has emerged... As the Guardio report clearly demonstrated, there is very little, if anything, secure about Telegram, contrary to popular reports. The paradox lies in Telegram's emphasis on its security and privacy features, despite there being no automatic end-to-end encryption in place; instead, message protection relies on policies rather than technology. Such a...
  • Spain clamps down on free speech, blocks Telegram nationwide, capitulating to corporate pressure.

    This move by the Spanish court to block Telegram nationwide is a blatant attack on freedom of speech and expression. It’s concerning to see media companies leveraging legal maneuvers to stifle competition and silence dissenting voices. Instead of addressing their concerns through dialogue and negotiation, they resort to heavy-handed tactics, infringing on the rights of millions of users.

    A California teenager accused of being behind a flurry of swatting incidents across the country targeting schools and the homes of FBI agents has been arrested in connection with a swatting attempt at a Florida mosque last year, according to court documents filed by state prosecutors.

    WASHINGTON — A Trump supporter who stormed the Capitol wearing a “Make Space Great Again” hat had two guns and 400 rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested Thursday near former President Barack Obama’s home, federal authorities said Friday. A federal prosecutor said in court Friday that Taylor Taranto, a 37-year-old man first identified by online sleuths in August 2021, also had a machete in the van he appeared to be living in. Taranto's van has been parked near the D.C. jail in recent weeks and he has appeared at protests in support of other Jan. 6...

    Social media giants such as Facebook are notorious for censoring anything they label “misinformation” or “offensive,” from the second opinions of doctors during a pandemic, to the pleas of persecuted Christians. Little known, however, is that they also allow hate-filled, radical, and murderous content from Muslim terror groups to post on and make use of their far reaching platforms.The evidence is overwhelming.According to a June 14, 2022 report, for example,A new study has found that Facebook has failed to catch Islamic State group and al-Shabab extremist content in posts aimed at East Africa as the region remains under threat from...

    Ukraine 5 (vanity) The onslaught of Biden/media war propaganda, for a war America is not fighting, is setting the table for continued Russian sanctions, additional Ukraine funding and further widening of the rift between Russia and America. In order to help counter the Biden/media propaganda, I signed up for the Russian social media app called Telegram. It is a cross between Twitter and WhatsApp, IMO. The main account to follow is “Intel Slava Z” and also “ASB Military News” is good too. These accounts have first hand images and videos from the front lines and they say and show the...

    Some pro-Trump extremists have used the platforms to suggest skipping local rallies to focus instead on a big turnout in D.C. at Biden's inauguration. ight-wing extremists are using channels on the encrypted communication app Telegram to call for violence against government officials on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, with some extremists sharing knowledge of how to make, conceal and use homemade guns and bombs. The messages are being posted in Telegram chatrooms where white supremacist content has been freely shared for months, but chatter on the channels has increased since extremists have been forced off other...

    Two Iranian anti-government protesters have been killed, after three straight days of demonstrations against economic unrest and the Islamic regime. According to Fox News, these deaths come after the Iranian government warned its citizens that anybody who participated in an "illegal" gathering “must be responsible for their behavior and pay the price." "On Saturday evening, there was an illegal protest in Dorud and a number of people took to the streets responding to calls from hostile groups, leading to clashes,” said Habibollah Khojastehpour, the deputy governor of the western Lorestan province, according to Sky News. “Unfortunately in these clashes two citizens...

    Belgium's telegram service is about to stop. Stop. One hundred and seventy-one years after the first electronic message was transmitted down a line running alongside the railway between Brussels and Antwerp the final dispatch will be sent and received on 29 December. The fact that this 19th-Century technology is still up and running in the age of Instagram and Snapchat may seem rather odd - especially when you consider that the UK, which invented the telegram in the 1830s, abandoned it as long ago as 1982. The United States followed suit in 2006 and even India, which had been by...
