"Sundog and I repeated yesterday’s leash training protocol to ensure a happy experience. Took him in the bathroom and put him on the electric blanket. Zen. Gently applied the harness. He snuggled up next to me and even chuffed to me (for the first time) a little bit. I clipped leash on. Put him in the carrier and took him outside. He was pretty excited to do this again and led me on a confident walk. As we approached a flower bed he noticed a small hollow log there that I had intended for his enclosure, but had no room for it. He went in the log. And came out the other side. WITHOUT THE HARNESS!! I was holding a leash with no lizard on the end of it. Panic (on my part). Excitement (on his part). I reached down and scooped him up and he went into full out tegu rebellion—twisting and whipping and carrying on. Holy Jeeezzzus! It was crazy!!! I managed to stumble to the carrier and put him in and zip it up. Crazy lizard inside! I put my hand in and he settled. Whew! I pulled myself back together, put the harness and leash back on and got him back out —-to end on a good note. What I learned today: His harness is tight enough that if I keep a little pressure straight up, he can’t get out of it—BUT, if I release pressure and he zooms through a log with his little arms behind him, it comes right off. Lesson learned."

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. Anastasia Vlasova/Getty Images Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
