A recent report has proven that Telegram sticks to its promise of keeping its user data private, while apps like WhatsApp give real-time user data to third parties, and despite their numerous claims about "E2E encryption", can also disclose message contents.
The report has confirmed that Telegram is one of the few messaging apps that doesn't breach their users’ trust.
I am not surprised. Most other apps couldn't guarantee privacy to their users even if they wanted to. Because their engineers reside in the US, they have to secretly implement backdoors in their apps when the US government orders them to. If an engineer speaks publicly about it, then can go to jail for breaching a gag order.
In most cases the agencies don't even need a court order to extract private information from messaging apps such as WhatsApp, and in other cases, court documents are shrouded in secrecy. Some supposedly secure apps have been funded by government agencies from their inception (e.g Anom, Signal).
For many years the National Security Agency (NSA) has been making sure that international encryption standards are in line with what the NSA can decipher, and all other approaches to encryption are labeled as "non-standard" or "home-brew". Through their proxies in the encryption industry (like this one), the NSA imposed flawed standards onto the encryption used by the rest of the world, cautioning everyone else from "rolling out their own encryption".
No wonder US-based apps such as WhatsApp are plagued with backdoors – intentionally planted security loopholes that governments (and anybody else) can use to hack smartphones and extract private data from people.
I hear our US-based competitors are frustrated that they can't match Telegram's growth, despite heavily investing in marketing (something Telegram has never had to invest in). But in order to match our growth, they have to first make sure their actions match their marketing claims. Until then, data breaches and security issues in their apps will, unfortunately, remain unavoidable.

I do not support veterans for the sake of simply being veterans, at least not politically. I regret our pitiful foreign policy and the way we have used our troops, but am thankful I served due to the life experience it offers.
My list of most valuable veteran lessons:
*officers and NCOs come off the factory line as tailor made project managers and front line leaders. Industry experience comes in a matter of months but every military operation requires knowledge and skill in operations, logistics, intelligence, communications, personnel, and direct action.
*you serve under higher ranking people you love or detest. You outrank people you love or detest. Nevertheless, you must finish the mission and stay in your lane.
*everything is easier than spending a year in a country where everyone outside the gate wants to drag your lifeless corpse through their streets.
*the best officers go to the sound of the guns
*Leaders need to be able to hack it physically with your youngest, fastest, strongest soldiers. Technically sound, need not be the best, but must be able to stand ground.
*Do not let perfect become the enemy of good.
*anyone can identify a problem. One identifying a problem should also produce a list of solutions to the decision maker.
*Empower subordinates. That way, they grow and have confidence their leaders can identify what it is they do better than others.
*Assign tasks that take advantage of natural skills, and bridge other tasks in to broaden weaker areas over time.
*Rebuke in private. Praise in public.
*the extra mile sets you apart from the pack.

Disagreement is what makes us Americans.
Americans drafted our founding documents. I believe they were inspired by the Holy Spirit to bring forth a system of government reflecting “freedom” as will be found in heaven.
We believe we have freedom because we believe we are made in the image of God. Because we are, we have dignity. Because we have dignity, we have rights of free people.
Those Americans often detested one another. Read about Washington and Jefferson. Alexander Hamilton was hated by many and hated many himself. Thank God there was no social media then, or you might be speaking English at the table this morning.
But they got it done.
If we all agreed on EVERYTHING - would we not be just those we ridicule for sheeplike behavior?

Regarding this point:
*We believe we have freedom because we believe we are made in the image of God. Because we are, we have dignity. Because we have dignity, we have rights of free people.*
This is the main reason we will NEVER win a war of choice as waged in Afghanistan or Iraq. Nation building requires the locals to eventually control their nation. Nations like that do not believe in the dignity of man. This is why they stone women for learning to read and execute people for the slightest infractions.
Third world warlords do not hold the foundational beliefs that make freedom a possibility.

Interesting how the Left, the media, the GOP all made drug addict & felon George Floyd into a martyr but turned these women protestors into terrorists & justified their murders by Capital Police. 👇
