The Palace of Versailles — The Amazing 67,000 Square Meter Palace Built Without One Single Place to Poop
Servants and aristocratic visitors often relieved themselves on back stairs, along the darkened corridors, or in any out-of-the-way place. The writer Horace Walpole agreed with other English visitors to Versailles that the approach was magnificent but the squalor inside was unspeakable. —James M. Anderson in Daily Life During The French Revolution.
—>A gigantic machine was built in 1684 to move water through pipes into...the fountains and not the palace itself. —>144 years later, a toilet was installed...for the king and queen only. —>Somehow, for some reason, the architect designed a building and "forgot" the inhabitants need to poop.

"And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels.
