In the fjords of Norway lays a small isolated farming village near Setesdal, Norway. According to local folklore there was once a house God who was worshiped by the local villagers whom they called Fakse. As attested in the Det Store Tidskiftet, Fakse-Brokke was a wooden idol that was hidden in a barn outside of the isolated village of Brokke. He never traveled anywhere and was propped up on an altar near the entrance.
Fakse was said to have been made out of a large pine tree log and wore a stone hat (cap). It was recorded that near the altar people would leave offerings of beer and food while praying to him. He was also attested for being worshipped for good harvests and good health among the villagers.

In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp.
