contronyms, or Janus words: words that are their own opposites
на картинке — двуликий римский бог Янус, по имени которого получили свое название слова, также известные как контронимы или автоантонимы. например:
dust — и убирать пыль, и припылить: 🟧Dust your room, we are having guests later. 🟧Dust the top of the cake with icing sugar.
sanction — и разрешить, и запретить. тут можно догадаться только по более широкому контексту, отдельное предложение не даст нужной информации: 🔴You can do it: the government sanctioned it. 🔴You can't do it: the government sanctioned it.
oversight — и внимательный взгляд, и ошибка по недосмотру: 🟧The new manager was given oversight of the project. 🟧If you forgot to add sugar while baking cookies because you were texting a friend, it's an oversight.
в русском языке контронимы тоже есть. со словами санкция и просмотреть у нас, например, та же штука.

Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. 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. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation.
