    What makes you think Biden won't leave a January surprise and dump a bunch of funding and capacity before he out?

    Whats stopping Europe from rising in place of the US' fall and becoming the predominant hegemonic power and arbiter of all this?

    Not that its my place, but if they start drinking again and that's just going to be how things work out, please have them look into Sinclair method.

    Its a tricky thing to suggest the poison can be turned on its head to the point it becomes part of the cure and the approach is sort of radical at first blush but theres a chemical aspect of addiction that doesnt get looked at with abstinence approaches and if they can't manage on that, there's still hope and an arguably more efficacious approach with Sinclair.

    Keep that mind if you see things regressing. I really wish it was otc and covered publicly and more people were aware of it

    Its not an attack on e2ee, Telegram is first and foremost an unencrypted service. It can offer limited novel encryption for private chats but I think thats only person to person (and its definitely not by default), it also collects a ton of "unencrypted" data through all the permissions it requires to use the app.

    This is more like Facebook allowing illegal content to stay up and refusing to moderate and also not handing over plaintext user data they retain and profit off of that they definitely have full access and knowledge of which is related to illegal conduct at issue.

    If Telegram was actually an end to end encrypted service, they would probably be on better footing.

    Edit - I'm okay if this misunderstanding actually galvanizes the public to realize the importance of e2ee/encryption in general and make this issue politically radioactive but there will always be totalitarian snoops who want access to everything and anyone for their own selfish purposes

    What do you think about something lile MoneyStats? Curious because I just can't see plain text being robust enough for anything other than simple record-keeping, as opposed to being able to project and put it together to make whatever inferences that probably get missed when you're getting that low-level.
