We’ve upgraded Telegram’s anti-censorship protocol. Users in Russia are advised to update their apps to stay connected. Thanks to the Russian people’s Digital Resistance, Telegram usage there remained stable over the past week despite the full ban.
Ничего не понятно. Обновили протокол защиты от цензуры, но надо использовать VPN и Proxy. Таким способом обойдёмся и без протокола. У заблокированного в России @signalapp протоколы работают без VPN.

Tired of WhatsApp? Only if there was a carefully-curated list of viable alternatives, oh wait there is:
🚨 WhatsApp’s “end-to-end encrypted” privacy is a total lie.
New class-action lawsuit just dropped: Meta secretly let employees, contractors like Accenture, and third parties read, intercept, and store your private messages WITHOUT consent.
All while marketing it as “only you and the recipient can read it.”
Zuck lied to billions. Your chats were never safe.
You can’t optimize for both usability and security — you’ll end up with ugly compromises, like WhatsApp leaking 95% of messages via unencrypted backups or Signal exposing messages through push notifications. Hence, you need two types of chats: 100% usable and 100% secure.
Humanity is not ready for AI.
It was not even ready for the documentary explaining why.
One could read these numbers as disappointing, but scientifically speaking they constitute unusually elegant supporting evidence.
В Кремле придумали панацею - триединую конструкцию: часть ветеранов отправят в иностранный легион Минобороны и сохранят контракты в армии, других - трудоустроят в МВД и МЧС, наконец, третьи- пойдут в частные охранные структуры, усиливать безопасность школ и торговых центров.
