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.

Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts.
