true but only if you do : tor > vpn
if you do : vpn > tor in this order, it’s way more resistant, because if the onion node is compromised, it’s the vpn’s ip address that is exposed, not yours

I honestly don’t think he really had any opsec apart from those few applications, look at what tools he was using, what a joke. Fake calculator app to store files are great to protect from your parents, not the FBI.
He was clearly using Android and I bet he was using the stock rom, kyc sim card, and not even a vpn behind tor.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy and relieved he was caught, but if he had done serious research and did a better opsec, it wouldn’t have been so easy for the authorities to get him

I think it’s okay, if he uses this account for government related stuff, banking, insurance, work and so on, he already lost all privacy because of them, so why should he bother with a private email for those things
I agree with the backdoor risks, that’s why I don’t recommend it for safe communication, I know that Telegram is partially open source now, but I can’t remember if it applies to the encryption
Yes I do use a VPN, 24h 7/7, changing server everyday. regarding their data collection, it’s about the same as WhatsApp for exemple, the difference is in which government will they comply with, if you are american for example, you better have your data in russia with Telegram
Yes they have your phone number but you can easily rent an anonymous number to use services that require it, and even then, if you do not plan to become a gun dealer, you just set a username and hide your phone number everything will be okay (again, for the social media use case)
Telegram is more a social media than a messenger app, group chats and channels can’t be encrypted but 1 to 1 chats can be
I’ve been in channels and group chats about Ukraine since 2014 (unencrypted as I said) and nothing serious ever happened,
no censorship, no ban (from Telegram I mean), russian trolls raids from time to time but easily contained
I wouldn’t use Telegram for day to day communication but to stay informed about what matters to you without big risks of censorship it’s great
Oh trust me I was, I tested pretty much all of them 😂
the majority it was displayed directly in the bio, and the rest told me in the first or second message
I trust you but I can’t relate to your experience, I always encountered honest people (at least with this subject)
First, from a purely technical perspective, there is absolutely no way this works properly, you just can’t recognize a trans person just by looking at his/her face, even if this was ethically okay (and this isn’t), it couldn’t work at all.
Second, the privacy nightmare that would be, every picture of everyone would be processed (and certainly stored forever for training the program) without the possibility to disable it ?
And finally, the obvious discrimination against trans people (I never encountered a trans person that wasn’t honest about it, so it’s even pointless to “detect” them)
To be honest I’m not in the LGBT community or anything, but this goes to far
Thank you for your answer, after your comment I really started to think the problem was on my own side, and it was actually.
I connected to my account directly on the lemm.ee’s website, and I changed my password, just to try and see what happens, and it worked !
I tried to login in Mlem directly with your recommandation for the fields and the new password and it was successful first try
Sorry to have bothered you and thanks again for your help
Just tried right now, it doesn’t work either, I tried with “@” and without “@”, and I tried with the instance’s name included too
I also checked one more time my password and it’s correct since I’m able to connect on the web client
Si si, elle l’était, se voir suspendu sans salaire par refus de s’injecter une substance, peu importe laquelle, est effectivement une violation de la constitution dans énormément de pays dont la France. Nos corps nos choix.
