How to avoid leaking your IP address over Telegram:
All one must do to gain your IP address (and much more information about you) is to have you visit a site or server of which they are in control.
If you are unsure of a link that has been shared, or if it doesn't look like a familiar URL, ensure you are using a VPN or TOR when visiting it.
Note that this can happen on any platform, no matter how secure it is.
The best way to avoid this is to have your VPN enabled at all times, but there are other precautions you can take to protect yourself as well.

In recent years both governments and corporations have been using ever more sophisticated technologies to track, monitor and manipulate people. Yet if we are not careful, the epidemic might nevertheless mark an important watershed in the history of surveillance. Not only because it might normalise the deployment of mass surveillance tools in countries that have so far rejected them, but even more so because it signifies a dramatic transition from “over the skin” to “under the skin” surveillance.
Hitherto, when your finger touched the screen of your smartphone and clicked on a link, the government wanted to know what exactly your finger was clicking on. But with coronavirus, the focus of interest shifts. Now the government wants to know the temperature of your finger and the blood-pressure under its skin.

The co-founder of Asterix and Obelix died today (RIP). The series has always been close to my heart since I have grown up with it. Asterix and Obelix in Britain was my favourite as a child.
I am fortunate to have grown up with good stories.
I will shield my children from degeneracy (i.e. much of the newer 'childrens' material) and only expose them to good and glorious material.
