I remember that the day they killed Robert Kennedy there was also blonde in the surroundings of the Hotel! Just a coincidence, blondes here and there.
Pavel Durov, creator of Telegram detained in Paris

And now her family is telling media outlets that she is unable to be located since Durov's arrest.
Mystery blonde traveling with secretive Telegram CEO was posting trip on social media before he was arrested — and now she’s missing
“If you were following her on social media, you could easily track Durov’s movements,” one expert told The Post.

And now her family is telling media outlets that she is unable to be located since Durov's arrest.
Russian media reported earlier today that she and Durov's bodyguard were released. I wonder if she will stay in France or go somewhere. And if and when someone will try to interview her.
Also here's an opinion by one of the Russian information security TG channels. Just to clarify in case translation isn't clear, paragraphs 2 and 3 are sarcasm.
The hottest topic right now is, of course, Durov's arrest in France. We've been asked to comment as well. Well, okay.
A lot of anonymous and not so anonymous TG-channels started to discuss the arrest and invent some details that they personally heard while sitting under Macron's desk (at the minimum). For example, a bunch of anonymous people say that the girl who came to France with Durov, a specialist in consumation, turned out to be a Mossad agent (!). This was reported to them directly by Netanyahu, no doubt.
While in fact, Durov was recruited by Putin at Aliyev's dacha, so Durov would fly to France and sit in the Bastille, where Bridget Macron's false breasts are being kept in the secret cellar along with the recipe for croissants with liver sausage.... (you get the picture)
We are not supporters of the process of multiplication of entities, so we will not fantasize, but will try to make a simple analysis in order to predict the consequences of this fascinating event which may affect you and me.
We see two options - Durov is put in jail and Durov is not put in jail.
1. Durov is put in jail. In this case, the owners and tops of social services are faced with the choice of a fork in the eye or to lie down unconditionally under the current EU authorities or to swerve out of Europe and never appear there again. Actually, Chris Pawlowski, founder of Rumble, has already done so.
A number of services are appearing that will not cooperate with the EU authorities under any pretext at all. That is, if earlier requests on pedophilia or terrorism could be worked out, now it will not happen at all, out of principle. Of course, the target contingent of unconscious citizens will immediately go there. And the European authorities will have two ways - either to put up with uncontrolled services, or to start cutting them at the level of traffic exchange points.
Our opinion is that the second way will be chosen, which means that the segmentation of the global network, which we have been talking about almost since the very beginning of the channel's existence, will become more and more obvious.
What will happen to Telegram in Russia in this case? Some kind of restrictions on messenger will be for sure, perhaps a full ban, as the probability of thermorectal cryptanalysis in French penitentiaries has not been canceled yet.
However, there is another option, in which, afraid of "European democratic values", the Telegram team will rush to Moscow and surrender to the "anal slavery by the bloody Gebna (FSB)", then everything will be fine with Telegram. And even possibly in the USA (if Trump comes to power) - they will dismantle the servers, one half of the world will be fed by the NSA and the other by the FSB. But there will probably be no Telegram left in the EU.
Ah, yes. There is also a fantastic option with the exchange of Durov for some hooligan. Or for Zhenya Berkovich.
2. Durov is not put in jail, he is fined/suspended sentence/whatever. In this case, Telegram as an independent confidential service basically ends. No, it is clear that it will work, the audience will remain, but it will be WhatsApp N2, not an advanced platform that cares about the privacy of users. The boldness of anonymous channels will also decrease.
In parallel, a group of countries opponents of the Western liberal model - Russia, Iran, China and others - will consistently curtail the presence of Telegram on their territory. And this will not be a fake fight in the form of removing the app from the AppStore, but real blocking by protocol.
Because even if Durov doesn't hand over anything to the French security services, everyone will think that he will.
So there will probably be less Telegram in Russia in the foreseeable future. But we are not going anywhere

Unfortunately, I don't, but the install process is really easy. What you practically need is the Chrome, Edge or Brave browser (as they have WebUSB extension). You can see in that video how easy it is:
Right now Google is releasing the Pixel 9, so I guess there will be discounts on the 8 model range. The best will be to get directly from the Google Store, as the carrier-provided device (as a part of the subscription plan) might be unable to unlock the bootloader in order to flash new firmware. I'm currently using the cheapest Pixel 6a as a daily driver, with bank applications or even Polish digital ID installed without any issues (on a separate user profile). Pixel 8 would be more secure because of the Armv8.5-MTE extension that is used in GrapheneOS and that excludes a class of buffer overflow attacks, which are the common ones exploited for a privilege escalation.
Keep in mind that the screen is an OLED one, and as I recall, you've had some issues with migraines. The way OLED implements dimming is by reducing the frequency of "bliking," which tricks our brains that the screen is dimmer. This can cause headaches in some people.
Tucker Carlson interviewed Durov a few months ago. Here's what Pavel Durov had to say about "not travelling to weird places."

Once again, I just cannot comprehend the level of delusion of this guy. Like even a pub owner in a big city center knows far more about the mafia than a guy that raised more than a billion USD for his company... His delusion exposed his clients to the risk of privacy breach by the state. Just take a look at the UAE, of which he has citizenship; it's one of the most surveilled places on earth, according to surveillancewatch.io. How could it be that he's way worse informed than an average IT enthusiast? And it is said that his team are exceptional experts in their fields. Fishy.
For me, there is no doubt that in the case of Durov, something should have happened that would have given him serious guarantees. It is reported here that this was an invitation from the President of France and this would definitely be a guarantee under normal conditions, but ...
If this is how it happened, then another bottom has been broken. Macron was not squeamish before (let's recall a "private" telephone conversation with Putin in the presence of journalists), but in this case he acted simply as a cheap provocateur.

Для меня несомненно, что в случае с Дуровым должно было произойти нечто, что давало бы ему серьезные гарантии. Здесь сообщается, что это было приглашение президента Франции и это в нормальных условиях определенно было бы гарантией, но...
Если это случилось именно так, то пробито очередное дно. Макрон и раньше не отличался щепетильностью (вспомним "приватный" телефонный разговор с Путиным в присутствии журналистов), но в этом случае он выступил просто как дешевый провокатор.

^--- This.
Cell Phones and mobile devices are by design inherently insecure. It is literally not possible to use one securely or privately.
It is possible to get pretty good communication privacy by using a desktop computer. Sadly, fewer people even own a computer anymore.
I see this on the crypto-currency forums. Guys show up asking how to buy Monero securely and privately on their mobile device because they don't own a computer. They become angry when I tell them "you can't".
When I inquire as to why they don't own a computer, they say they don't want to pay more for internet service because the phone or iPad they bought at Wal-Mart comes with 5g.
Desktop computers are returning to being the "weird nerd hobby" they were in 1985 when I bought a used, broken Apple II from a car stereo shop in Austin, TX for $200.
I think this is a bad thing because it decreases the amount of self-sovereignty in the world.
Cell phones cannot be made secure and still interact with the cell network.
See: International Mobile Equipment Identity - Wikipedia
I think that you're conflating privacy with security. It's true that security is a means to ensure privacy. But having a cell operator know of a person's current location (it happens even without a SIM installed) isn't necessary to violate someone's sense of privacy. Most modern smartphones have a modem separated via hardware IOMMU, which means that even if it's exploited or backdoored, it cannot access your screen contents, for example. You can even desolder the microphone, as Edward Snowden does, and use a USB headset for calls to isolate modem even more.
That's why I tried to define the threat someone realistically might face, as the EU is going totalitarian. I can see the situation of someone's smartphone being snatched by the police and Cellbrite'd because he was on an anti-WHO manifestation that went wrong because of agent provocateurs. Or being forced to install an app for yet another quarantine monitoring or army recruitment that monitors location. GrapheneOS is known for not being exploitable by Cellbrite, can spoof location, give application only a subset of your address book you want, or deny internet access to a specific app. It's the best you can get without sacrificing convenient participation in our modern society.
We can debate how desktop computers are insecure, how, for example, every Linux kernel release provides some more or less critical regressions, and how the application sandbox there is non-existent. How even it's not easy to boot a desktop computer and be sure that you've booted an operating system that wasn't modified when you were partying at night in some pub. Some are even opening PDF files in a separate virtual machine on their Qubes OS

If we consider the information i posted earlier in this thread, coming from a friend of mine who animates an TG channel, then all become clear : Macron was simply requested, or better say obliged, by his jews master(s), to trap & arrest Durov.
Anyone has access to the full article of Haaretz I posted ? This article gives, upon what my friend said, the real (or lone maybe) reason why he was arrested.
He also posted the following 2 days before, the 26, i translate to english :
When we know that France is fully controlled by Israel, this looks like a good theory.
Then we can figure out that of course Micron is not happy, not at all i would even say, but he's trapped too, he's more than probably heavily blackmailed that he would do anything not to loose its grasp on the country.

I am, because they are so closely related.
Since it's not possible to use the cell networks privately or securely, I always advise people to never do anything on a cell phone you would dislike a District Attorney describing to the cameras of your local TV news station.
I think it's a good policy.

Good Tucker interview yesterday on why FedGov wants to control Telegram.
Mike Benz of the Foundation for Freedom Online explains that the CIA pays Telegram Group Admins to censor and propagandize their groups to align with U.S. policy goals.
He explains that FedGov's goals are to stamp out all American Populism, and to foment revolutions in countries the U.S. wants to control.
Worth a watch.
Sharpening my chainsaws in my shop today is taking forever because I keep having to stop, take off my filthy gloves, and re-wind the video.

In keeping with Tim Walz's recent redefinition of free speech on MSNBC, "There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy,” the same concept, and Pavel Durov's detention, are being used by other leftists increasingly to target Elon Musk for the same treatment.
"Elon Musk is out of control" smacks of a Freudian slip. "Regulators around the world" smacks of global government. Reich seems not so smart.

John Helmer writes about Telegram as Pavel Durov's debt scheme. He also sells user data.
I didn't know this, but the Russian military made a policy to ban Telegram, but this was relaxed after users had a fit about it.
So that seems to be a major flaw in operational security, If the user data is for sale, and that is public knowledge, I think it is likely it that the Telegram information made its way into NATO's hands. Not that it will help them much, but Telegram is far from an apolitical privacy and security platform.
