Study Shows Surveillance Systems Are Rewiring Our Subconscious
It's more than a violation of our privacy. It changes how we perceive other people — and we're not even aware of it, but it can be measured. And a simple illustration shows how it can be resisted.
Studie zeigt, dass Überwachungssysteme unser Unterbewusstsein umprogrammieren
Es ist mehr als nur ein Eingriff in unsere Privatsphäre. Sie verändert die Art und Weise, wie wir andere Menschen wahrnehmen - und wir sind uns dessen nicht einmal bewusst, aber es kann gemessen werden. Und eine einfache Illustration zeigt, wie man sich dagegen wehren kann.

Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever."
