«…if you ask a traditional combinatorialists they would be happy to tell you they they like their area to be trend-resistant. They wouldn’t use these words, obviously, but rather say something about timeless, or beautiful art (…) If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you already know how I feel about such backward-looking views. When these win, the area becomes stale, isolated, and eventually ignored by both junior researchers and the “establishment” (…) Personally, I don’t see this happening in part due to the influence of Theoretical Computer Science (…)
Last year, in the middle of a technical complexity theoretic argument, I learned of a yet another very general direction which seem to have been overlooked. I will discuss it briefly in this blog post…»

The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look.
