Are you suggesting that the global reliance on Microsoft by every government could potentially pose an issue?
Indeed but my point here is that Ukraine is at war with Russia...
Ukraine is not at war with US. So risk is Microsoft being imbeciles... Russia literally wants Ukraine wiped out and yet the idiots unable to change an app on their phone because "network effects and habit"
Just wow
The thing with Zelensky's propaganda is that externally (with people familiar with the situation only from CNN (or whever you get your information from..)) it works an order of magnitude better than internally.. :)
So "idiots" use Telegram because not only they see no threat in it (why would they?), but also because it helps to avoid the very real threat of "lawful mobilization actions" by the government.
Russia larper spotted
Cheers!
Yeah, I hear this quite often :)
Every Ukrainian who doesnt want to die for Zelensky is a Russian, yeah yeah yeah heard that one more times than I can count.
Cheers :)
People using russian talking-points will get called russin, big surprise
Is anything I've said a lie though? Or maybe misinformation? Or maybe I'm manipulating facts? Or maybe "Russian talking-points" is how you label inconvenient truth that you are not willing to accept? :)
Debunk what I've said, show everyone that I'm just a Russian propagandist (or even better - a bot) spreading lies and deceptions!
Ah yeah right, why do that if calling someone a "Russian larper" is a good enough argument for some folks... :)
The burden of proof lies with you. You allege that CNN is zelensky-Propaganda. Now prove it. Then I will believe you.
Until then you're just spreading russian Propaganda.
Sure, what exactly would you like to have a proof for?
Oh my...
I know, right? I was also shocked when I discovered that it's not just the evil-evil Russia who does the propaganda thing! :)
As if telegram was better than signal in avoiding state sniffing. Security by design is always better than security by trust.
Obviously yes, it is catastrophic for security to use windows, macos, android, ios. Anyone trusting this software is a fool.
