Yesterday, we did an impromptu livestream honoring the legacy of David Lynch -- I was joined by Millennial Woes, Greg Johnson, and Martin Lichtmesz (Martin joined us halfway through).
I want to thank all three guests for a great conversation - and thank you for doing it on short notice. I sent out invitations only ca 30 min before we went live and some other guests could not make it.

Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital.

Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so.
