    Recently? Maybe i'm wrong, but i remember a 2 years old news telling that france was pursuing allowing the police to spy on rioter's phones.... I remember it was not long after the "end" of the yellow jacket's riots, so maybe it's even older.

    Dysthopic vibes.

    Telegram is not safe from governments. Maybe safe from Western ones.

    It does not have E2EE for most things. Which means TG users are not safe from TG owners, and TG owners are not safe from those who are the force behind them.

    Maybe it's Israel, maybe it's Russia, Durov's female friend was spotted in Baku in a "cyber-security" center operated by Israelis, so maybe Azerbaijan. Maybe I don't know.

    You don't have to know which exactly force that is. All you have to know is how TG works.

    ... can use Signal. Its usability has improved a lot since I last tried using it. I've just moved half of our family chats there, another half is waiting till a bit later, because they are on another continent. It's as convenient as WhatsApp.

    I assume he was arrested because he is a russian asset.

    Regardless, he was doing business in France and not following its laws. So the official reason still makes more sense than your fantasies.

    Yes, companies should comply with law enforcement when their platform is evidently used for crimes.

    Not if there's evidence against him.

    Why would they sue the company when he is the criminal?

    It's because he kept letting terrorists and child molesters get away with their crimes.

    Governments would continually go to him and ask for help to save people's lives and he told them to fuck off.

    He's right where he's supposed to be now.

    its way more likely that your mom searched for cancer related information on google. and you are connected to your mom, so you get ads as well.

    I get the feeling this thing, I mean, the ad targeting is far stronger in the USA (maybe also in europe) than in the rest of the world. My "ad targeting" is idiotic. I once was in brazil (argentinian here!). And got ads in portuguese for a year or so. I was a month planning on buying a computer, with all that that involves (google searchs, looking for prices on internet) and i never got an ad until i actually bought everything, then it was 2 months of ads recommending me to buy the exact same components i already bought.

    As today, half of my ads are in german. Jokes on them, i use them to learn.

    I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is 'ad', not add.

    Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It's also a security feature in the post-2000's internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

    You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.
