The point is they don’t have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.

But they do need to suspect it.

If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.

Those conditions would be illegal to put a pig in here.

When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

We have nothing compared to fx. London.

Where did you see cameras?

Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.

Security is a spectrum. Telegram has never been the most secure alternative, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any security.

The cops aren’t going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them.

That’s what they do in countries where non-criminals aren’t afraid of the police, and they seem to do much better both in terms of staying safe and keeping the citizens safe.

I live in Denmark, Europe. One Bic Mac meal is 9.39 USD incl taxes.

The minimum salary in McDonals is around 3500 USD per month for a standard 37 hr/week, including pension.

This is every month, not affected by holidays, sick leave, paid vacation… It comes with 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation per year, and virtually unlimited sick leave.

Yeah, I also don’t understand why McDonald’s says they can’t raise salaries or improve working conditions, because it will make the price go up. So why is it expensive now?

(Yes, taxes are high here. But we also have a lot of stuff that is tax paid, that evens it out somewhat.)

Seemingly. 🙂

My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.

I can't speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can't really lie about speed. The "up to" trick was banned a long time ago.
