What's your alternative to democracy after this "peaceful revolution"? Who's in charge? You?

Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?

And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.

It seems to be some reference to this, although I can't find anything about sacks and snakes. As stated by u/stovetop only the rich were in parliament, so if this did happen it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.

Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they'll ignore the stuff that means they can't eat tasty pork

What does "exposed your alt on .ca" mean?

Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?

It validates that governments can see what's happening on Telegram, and that makes Telegram a target.

They can't go after the likes of Signal because they have very little to go on in the first place. They can't say definitively what's happening there as they can't see any messages. Unlike Telegram.

It's not a conspiracy that Signal are compromised, so they're being ignored. They're being ignored because there's nothing to see, so governments might as well spend resources going after the apps where information is visible instead. At least they might get a result. E2EE apps are too difficult.

Signal only delivers a promise that their E2EE will be enough to make the information govts get useless.

Signal do more than just a promise. Their encryption techniques are available to see. You can confirm if it's enough protection for you or not. Telegram are the ones making a promise. I'm not saying they've broken their promise (as evidenced by the arrest).

But it is just a promise when Telegram still has the ability to see messages. Signal can't see messages and therefore don't have to rely on a promise that can be broken (willingly or not). They instead rely on encryption, which appears to be far stronger than any promise could be.

For all we know, this is performative and the French government already has access to Telegram's servers and can see everything. If they have access to Signal's, oh well, they can't see shit.

Russia has been invaded plenty of times

With F-16s, HIMARS, and drones?

Modern warfare isn't the same as Germany in WW2.
