Professor demonstrates how an audible signal can be silently beamed into the skull using an Ultrasonic Acoustic Heyerodyne device.

Imagine how easy it is to drive someone to madness or to committ heinous crimes when you can beam voices or sounds into the skull?

All those school shootings at the hands of youngsters come to mind… '
' Apollo's Principles of Discourse

(ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς)

Asking questions is not presenting a theory. Presenting a theory is not asserting a claim.

Asserting a claim is not a personal attack. Disputing an idea is not attacking an individual who holds that idea.

Making an observation is neither condoning nor condemning what is observed.

Referencing a person's work is not agreeing with it. Agreeing with one thing a person has said or done is not agreeing with everything that person has said or done. None of these things condone or condemn the character or behavior of that person.

Emotional responses to questions, theories, and claims have no explanatory or persuasive value.

Ad hominem attacks have no explanatory or persuasive value.

No idea, individual, or organization is immune to inquiry.

The highest goal in discourse shall always be truth, regardless of how unexpected, unbelievable, or unwelcome that truth may be. Truth above all. '

' As applied by the Stasi, Zersetzung is a technique to subvert and undermine an opponent. The aim was to disrupt the target's private or family life so they are unable to continue their "hostile-negative" activities towards the state. Typically, the Stasi would use collaborators to garner details from a victim's private life. They would then devise a strategy to "disintegrate" the target's personal circumstances—their career, their relationship with their spouse, their reputation in the community. They would even seek to alienate them from their children. [...] The security service's goal was to use Zersetzung to "switch off" regime opponents. After months and even years of Zersetzung a victim's domestic problems grew so large, so debilitating, and so psychologically burdensome that they would lose the will to struggle against the East German state. Best of all, the Stasi's role in the victim's personal misfortunes remained tantalisingly hidden. The Stasi operations were carried out in complete operational secrecy. The service acted like an unseen and malevolent god, manipulating the destinies of its victims.

It was in the mid-1970 that Honecker's secret police began to employ these perfidious methods. At that moment the GDR was finally achieving international respectability. [...] Honecker's predecessor, Walter Ulbricht, was an old-fashioned Stalinist thug. He used open terror methods to subdue his post-war population: show trials, mass arrests, camps, torture and the secret police.

But two decades after east Germany had become a communist paradise of workers and peasants, most citizens were acquiescent. When a new group of dissidents began to protest against the regime, Honecker came to the conclusion that different tactics were needed. Mass terror was no longer appropriate and might damage the GDR's international reputation. A cleverer strategy was called for. [...] The most insidious aspect of Zersetzung is that its victims are almost invariably not believed. '

' The Stasi used Zersetzung essentially as a means of psychological oppression and persecution.[22] Findings of operational psychology[23] were formulated into method at the Stasi's College of Law (Juristische Hochschule der Staatssicherheit, or JHS), and applied to political opponents in an effort to undermine their self-confidence and self-esteem. Operations were designed to intimidate and destabilise them by subjecting them to repeated disappointment, and to socially alienate them by interfering with and disrupting their relationships with others as in social undermining. The aim was to induce personal crises in victims, leaving them too unnerved and psychologically distressed to have the time and energy for anti-government activism.[24] The Stasi intentionally concealed their role as mastermind of the operations.[25][26] Author Jürgen Fuchs was a victim of Zersetzung and wrote about his experience, describing the Stasi's actions as "psychosocial crime", and "an assault on the human soul".

📱 Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act — its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving.

🛩 Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe.

🫤 It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform.

🌐 Almost a billion users globally use Telegram as means of communication and as a source of vital information.

👍 We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation. Telegram is with you all.

All large social media apps are easy targets for criticism due to the content they host. I can’t recall any major social platform whose moderation has been consistently praised by traditional media.

The media coverage of Meta's moderation efforts has been particularly negative for most of its history. Interestingly enough, Meta was also the first social media company to have reached a trillion-dollar-plus valuation.

Telegram will likely have to go through similar growth stages before it surpasses legacy platforms. As we rapidly rise in scale and significance, we shall solve any potential challenges the same way we do everything else — with efficiency, innovation and respect for privacy and freedom of speech.
