' 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. '

Zersetzung
technique for the fight against political opponents by destroying them on a psychological, economical and personal life level, employed by the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) of former socialist East Germany
' 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".

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.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently revealed to Tucker Carlson that the FBI approached a Telegram engineer, attempting to secretly hire him to install a backdoor that would allow U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on users.
The FBI also hired agents to infiltrate 'anti-vaxx' Telegram groups, with FBI contractors creating multiple fake online identities to join chatrooms run by groups opposing vaccine mandates.

' Liberals are so scared of another trump presidency they are scared to hold Biden and Harris accountable for their complicity in the destruction of human beings in the Middle East. Tens of thousands, mostly women and children. Burning up as the world watch the DNC stage. Makes me feel sad and disgusted honestly. This should be the number one issue we press against democrats to let them know that just because they are the lesser evil doesn’t sanitize or condone their unspeakably evil behavior. '
' Lyla, I agree, but you need to look into the agenda Republicans have planned in Project 2025. That combined with the bought-off Supreme Court's decision to give Trump absolute power would end everything good about this country by rolling back human rights & emvirinmental regulations a century ot more... Please please look into it. I've followed enough of your posts to know that you would be appauled by most of what they have planned! '

The call is to look at what the whole political establishment is doing to the people.
If we have been set up to fight each other about which horrible administration to install, we are being tricked.
We must withdraw our energy from the charlatans who are extracting it.
There are better ways to live our lives than to be part of this fake fight.
There are real lives for us to live.
Many people are doing this, many people are modeling it responsibly and honorably.
But we have to pay attention to them instead of giving our attention to these toxic politics.
