The FBI tried to bribe a Telegram engineer to create a backdoor into their software to control and spy on what was happening on their platform.

These backdoors exist at the firmware level on all iOS, Android, and Windows devices.  Privacy is dead.


Holy smokes this is crazy. nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcjgxv3n, I thought your reflections on 2020 onward after the "Bitcoin Dollar" read were a powerful insight - and clearly they're timely!


Where/when in this video does Tucker or the person being interviewed assert that “the FBI tried to bribe telegram engineer to create a backdoor into their software to control and spy on what was happening on their platform.” ?


Haven't heard it yet. I remember listening to Bitcoin Audible either the day the world shut down or soon after. I was freaking out about the price dip and Guy was like rejoicing
 🤣


Today world, never to hold secret, that will end you up in jail for creating something good for humanity.

you think de-googled devices running Grapheme OS have this same problem?


Not the same problem entirely, the different layers have to work together to make it easy and automated.

But I wouldn't rule out some undocumented features that the real pros could use manually if they wanted to.

Putin uses a typewriter, they say. Because he's seen first hand what the best of the best can do.


Correct.. no matter how you try to encode logical constraints to achieve security in software, no amount of logic can prevent the exploitation of logic.


The first 60 seconds of the clip.


If he's so concerned with privacy, why can't you use Telegram without giving away your phone number?


:POLICE:


What I thought. They're far from being privacy focused, they're just another flavor of Meta and the legacy social media. With more Blackjack and hookers. But even the hookers have to give their phone number, so...


Then why do they need to back door or shut down telegram dude


Exactly what I said in my post above.

Durov made it HARD to get Telegram user data. It was easier and cheaper to take him hostage than to steal the user data in bulk.

I don't doubt ECHELON can get root access if they want, via hardware trojans. But that's tedious work plus mad skillz.


No point trying to steal Nostr data, since it's all public or encrypted and the npubs hold their own encryption keys.

At the most, you could shut down a machine, but there are a gazillion other machines, so good luck with that.

His strategic error was in trying to hide data in storage.


Same idea as the people trying to scrape Twitter data. 🤣

On Nostr, you just setup a relay and collect whatever data you can get and read whatever you can read. The idea that you should hide data sources that the public or the operator can see is an antipattern.


Everyone wants to play God holding the keys themselves.
Give the keys to the people and suddenly that target on your back disappears.


Yes, if you project control, people will expect you to control. I think that they are right to expect this.

It is dangerous, to be king.

Isn't the supposed point of the cellphone to avoid bots? Although, sure, I imagine there are better ways to do that which don't involve cellphones.


“Curious to learn which open source libraries are integrated into the app…” “…as I understand it…”

Neither Tucker nor the person being interviewed ever asserts what the original post says. Listen again.

Let’s stop pushing this in a direction we want it to go to confirm our own suspicions. That is a tactic corporate controlled mainstream media uses, and apparently paranoid Bitcoiners use as well.


They don't need to back door it.  Being able to spy on your phone doesn't stop you from still uploading content and saying what you want.  They content moderation authority and control over the free speech apps.


It's not hard to get the data.  The problem is they have no content moderation control authority.  They want control over what you can say.  They already have the means to spy on you.  With the narrative falling further and further out of their control with apps like X spying isn't enough, they need pre-Elon twitter 1.0 levels of cooperation from these apps to shut down dissenting voices


It's not about scraping data.. its about actually controlling what people can and cannot say.. right now nostr is niche and doesn't represent a significant threat.  Telegram and X are actually messing things up for the thought police

And then encouraged the engineer to use different “open source libraries”.


Like I said, and what you’re proving…Nothing of what was stated in the original post by nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev was stated by Tucker or the person interviewed.
