Ein waidwunder Emmanuel Macron, eine aussterbende Konzils-Kirche, ein zunehmend tradi-katholisch eingerahmter Donald Trump. Manche Ereignisse der Geschichte sind wie ein Kaleidoskop, in dem sich Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft mehr oder weniger harmonisch brechen. Die Wiedereröffnung Notre-Dames nach der immer noch mysteriösen Brandkatastrophe war so ein Moment. Meine neuen Überlegungen in Tichys Einblick. https://www.tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/aus-aller-welt/die-wiedereroeffnung-von-notre-dame-als-kaleidoskop-des-21-jahrhunderts/

Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. Ukrainian forces have since put up a strong resistance to the Russian troops amid the war that has left hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, dead, according to the United Nations. Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments.
