The first document in Japan to feature a picture of Santa Claus was a novel called "Santakuro" published by Kyobunkwan in 1900. Written in kanji, it is "Santakuro." At the time, the word "Santa Claus" was completely unfamiliar, so the kanji was used to make it more familiar to us. As for Santa Claus' appearance, he is wearing a veil-like cloth instead of a hat. He has a postman-like bag slung across his body, and for some reason, he is holding a miniature Christmas tree in his hand. Next to him is a reindeer (?) that looks like a donkey, and on its back is a basket with a large amount of presents peeking out from inside.

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. "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. "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital. Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
