Am Donnerstagabend wurde das Gebäude der US-Botschaft in Moskau mit einer kompromisslosen Meldung des internationalen Senders RT beleuchtet. „Wir werden nicht verschwinden“, lautete die Botschaft des russischen Mediums, das in den USA und der EU nun komplett verboten ist. Der diplomatische Streich erfolgte, nachdem das US-Finanzministerium Anfang des Monats Sanktionen gegen RT sowie seine Muttergesellschaften verhängt und dem Sender vorgeworfen hatte, „an verdeckten Beeinflussungsaktivitäten beteiligt zu sein [...] und de facto als Arm des [russischen] Geheimdienstes zu fungieren“. via @anonymousnews_org

READ MORE Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
