yeah i still remember when sony lawyered lik-sang.com out of existence for having the temerity to sell sony games outside their intended regional markets.

pavel not complying with russian or french requests gives me some confidence that if some agency subpoena’d telegram for user records, they might actually have the spine to say no

Isn’t signal basically just a honeypot for feds these days like TOR? i didn’t know telegram was also hosted in the US, which is kinda heartbreaking but such is life in the imperial core i suppose

this is very disturbing to learn, thanks for sharing

it is not hosted in the US or a country affiliated with the US, which makes it infinitely more secure from the point of view of sovereign risk

i’d be able to speak candidly to my friends and family again, other than just in person without phones in the room

wouldn’t an option to ‘mute’ rather than ‘block’ people achieve the same outcome? that’s how it works on twitter iirc
