“And when they came north off Dumbshaf a man came over from the shore and entered service with them on the trip. He was named Rauðgrani. One-eyed was he. He had a blue-flecked, cowled cloak studded down to the middle of his legs. Jóstein the priest wasn't keen on him, for Rauðgrani spoke of heathendom and old lore with Gestr’s men, and said it best to worship by sacrifice for one's good luck. And one day when Rauðgrani was urging them to heathenism, the priest, all wrathful, suddenly grasped a crucifix and placed it on the head of Rauðgrani. He plunged overboard, but never came up afterwards. They realized then that he had been Óðinn. Gestr only regarded the priest coolly.” ~Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss
It’s interesting how several Sagas about the big bad king who converted everyone don’t outright deny the existence of the Gods.

He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. In a statement, the regulator said the search and seizure operation was carried out against seven individuals and one corporate entity at multiple locations in Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar in Gujarat, Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and Mumbai. Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
