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.

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read."
