I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. We are running out of time.

Only then did he pretend to sell Telegram bonds before the public release, using legends about sheikhs and inside information from people close to the Durov. 💰 He once served time for embezzling $4 million. After prison, he flew to Dubai, where he continued scamming people. Law enforcement in Moscow City is currently investigating the trail of his investment projects, and last month, his offices harassed law enforcement for two weeks, citing possible motives for transferring funds to Dubai, where they are interested in two exchange services — Rapira and Mosca.

📰 The requirement for verification of Russian telegram channels.🤡 The useless Runet organization Roskomnadzor has started demanding verification from Russian Telegram channels via the @Trustchannelbot bot. This bot is designed for third-party verification of chats (supergroups and channels). 👹 As of today, Roskomnadzor has made this stage [the appointment of a bot] mandatory. 🤖 Until today, installing a bot was optional; now if the bot is not installed on your public channel during the verification process, the application will be rejected.. ✏️ It was enough to specify the registration ID in channel description or attach the link to Gosuslugi (platform for verification of bloggers) since the law on registration of bloggers entered into force on November 1, 2024. 🚓 Today's decision is due to the easier deanonymization of admins, because look at the insane verification process (ru), which includes the mandatory collection of phone numbers of all their admins. 👨‍⚖️ Starting in September 2025, if you abandon this verification method, such channels will not only be banned from advertising and reposts, but their administrators will be fined up to 500,000 rubles (Code of Administrative Offenses, paragraph 14.3). Example of verification description: 🅰️ Регистрация в РКН: https://gosuslugi.ru/snet/673761b8b5d2ec30cf7356c3
