You need to mark sarcasm with /s.

If this is not a joke: the US has the worst privacy protection laws on this planet. Laws in China are almost better. And ironically the worst laws for freedom aswell. There is a reason why we have the GDPR laws in the EU that prohibits any user data transfer to US servers.

But surely somebody is proposing this. And it’s not an entity. It’s a person.

What is with these headlines these days… “Fueling a slowdown”.

Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it’s NewPipe or Grayjay.

The coal is still left why exactly? Besides, neuclear is perfecly climate neutral.

Are you trying to lecture me on what I’m doing? I know very well myself what I’m doing. I’m here for the 5 communities there are and on Reddit for the rest.

How do you know I’m not on Reddit for 90% of the time?

Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?

This is completely unrelated.

Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

This is a phenomenon that’s literally thousands of years old. It’s just basic economics. If there was good competition, there wouldn’t be any price gauging. And that’s the regulator’s fault not the company’s. Americans want their free market, they get their free market. So stop complaining.

“Some data”? It has all the data to their exposal. Child pornography and othe, crimes are rampant there. They are doing nothing against it for years. And when you don’t even answer mail from officials then you’re to get arrested at some point. This has nothing to do with private communication or chat control. It’s completely unrelated.

Well you don’t even seem to know that the Swizz is not part of the EU. And by being arrested in Spain confirms my point.

Did you know they use the Signal protocol? So literally the same encryption scheme?

Besides, the military isn’t smarter than 30 universities independently confirming the security.

Telegram chats are not encrypted by default, only Secret chat is which is not synced to Desktop and only works on one-to-one chats, no groups.

Why signal developer not with Durov?

Because almost all data is encrypted. They don’t even know who is messaging whom. How can they be charged with crimes they didn’t commit? They don’t know what their users are using the messenger for, so they can just deny everything.

UPD: and you can read messages and listen calls in any chat in signal.

No you can’t unless you have access to the phone itself. It’s impossible. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. This has nothing to do with backdoors eithe. They are simply asking them to do moderation on chats they already have access too.

Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

Do you have any idea what the cost is to restore 50 TB from that?

I assumed you’re only paying per GB storage. At least that’s what their S3 pricing page says. I believe transfer cost only applies if you transfer from one S3 solution to another. I’m not using it myself, so I don’t know the details. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

What happens when they decide to raise the price?

If you depend on AWS you’re doing something wrong. You should at least adher to the 3-2-1 backup plan. If you do so, you can switch away from AWS any time they change their policy.

Everything that’s encrypted is private and secure. There are messengers that encrypt your messages, profile, who you message, contacts, etc. Use those. If you’re particularly paranoid, read the code and build from source.

That’s why he hired an economist as his minister of defense.

If you’re this paranoid for your backups, I’d just go with AWS Glacia and dump all your encrypted data twice a year. You can get a TB of backup for about 1 € / month.

Surely you will
