Study Shows Surveillance Systems Are Rewiring Our Subconscious
It's more than a violation of our privacy. It changes how we perceive other people — and we're not even aware of it, but it can be measured. And a simple illustration shows how it can be resisted.
Studie zeigt, dass Überwachungssysteme unser Unterbewusstsein umprogrammieren
Es ist mehr als nur ein Eingriff in unsere Privatsphäre. Sie verändert die Art und Weise, wie wir andere Menschen wahrnehmen - und wir sind uns dessen nicht einmal bewusst, aber es kann gemessen werden. Und eine einfache Illustration zeigt, wie man sich dagegen wehren kann.

After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy."
