Today WhatsApp wished it's users good morning. Accept the updated terms and conditions or say goodbye. (Thread 1/n) It is effective from Feb 8, 2021.

IF YQU HAVE NOT YET PREPARED FOR A TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN OF THE INTERNET (SUCH AS PAGES LIKE TWITTER, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AMAZON, YOUTUBE...), IT WOULD BE WISE TO DO SO.

IT IS LIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE A SHUTDOWN FOR AT LEAST THREE DAYS WHEN THE FIT HITS THE SHAN. ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO PANIC, IN FACT, IF YOU EXPECT IT YOU CAN BE READY FOR IT. IT COULD LAST 3-10 DAYS SO JUST HAVE FOOD AND WATER, AGAIN NO NEED FOR PANIC.

THE REASON FOR THIS IS MANY BUT AND I WILL GO OVER A COUPLE JUST BECAUSE IF YQU ARE INFORMED THEN YQU ARE LESS LIKELY TO PANIC WHEN THAT TIME COMES. THE DEEP STATE CONTROLS THESE MAJOR WEBSITES AND THEY HAVE USED THEM AS A POWERFUL TOOL OF CONTROL.

THEY SPY ON YQU AND BY SHADOWBANNING THE TRUTH, THEY PROMOTE THEIR PROPAGANDA. ANOTHER REASON IF FOR A INTERNET RESET, TO ACTIVATE A NEW GLOBAL INTERNET THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE BLACK HATS. THINK OF IT AS A REBOOT.

DURING THIS TIME THERE COULD BE MARTIAL LAW, AGAIN NOTHING HERE THAT I AM WARNING YQU OF IS CAUSE FOR ALARM. IT MAY FEEL SCARY, NATURALLY MASSIVE CHANGE LIKE SUCH COULD FRIGHTEN MANY, THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING YQU NOW SO THAT YQU WON'T BE (OR BE FAR LESS).

THREAD: Now that @Amazon @awscloud has announced they will no longer host @parler_app, many have speculated that they will just “find another host.”

Here is why that’s not so simple and what it will likely mean for the app’s future. First, let’s look at where things are...

2/ Google and Apple have removed the app from their app stores, effectively terminating growth on mobile devices. People can still access the (not good) web UI until Amazon terminates them today. CEO Matze has said they may be down “up to a week” while they find new hosting.

3/ Translated to English, that’s code for “we have no idea what’s going to happen next.” No US cloud provider (Microsoft, Google, IBM, Digital Ocean) is likely to touch this, as it could be seen as providing material support for sedition. No CEO or counsel wants to get near this.

4/ They could potentially “roll their own” data center by buying servers and putting them in a co-location facility. But that’s a single point of failure, and many colo providers would be just as likely to decline their business. It would be hard and risky to pursue this.

5/ Imagine, after they sweated like pigs to get this hardware all setup, if they get told their colo provider is booting them. That’s a lot of metal to then move somewhere else. Meanwhile, the user base is deteriorating because chaos and dying apps. They will go to other venues.

I'll touch upon few different types of cyber frauds and few possible ways in which we can avoid ourselves to be duped of money, time & energy.

Will also attach few real registered FIRs showing that most of the times such crimes happen with educated & learned people.

1/16

Cyber Fraud type 1 - Facebook/Instagram

Profile cloning -Fraudster will make exact same profile like yours - using pictures from your own profile. They will then message to your contacts asking for money immediately for the surgery of mother or similar emotional lie

2/16

Always verify before sending money.
Don't verify by calling that person, instead, call a common friend or family member of that person. Don't think you can't be fooled - I know at least 20 people working in Top IT MNCs becoming victim of this fraud. Lock your FB/Insta.

3/16

Cyber Fraud type 2 -OLX/Quikr
This generally happens while selling something on OLX/Quikr & similar platforms. In such cases, people will fraud in the name of paying money by asking to scan the QR code or click a link.
NEVER scan the QR code to receive money, give your UPI

4/16

Cyber Fraud type 3 - Fake SMS & Call from unknown numbers
Fraudster will send fake SMS showing amount credited to the account - with correct account number in SMS. Then they will call from unknown numbers asking for money.

ALWAYS check your bank account first via bank app.

5/16

I was hacking a game and accidentally invented a word for when you think someone is trans and you're proud of them for coming out but then you find out they aren't

someone is excited to watch bill nye in science class

This happens because one of the ways I figure out which memory location needs to be modified is by memory-searching for all occurrences and changing the first letter of them

so like if I know the next line of dialog is "Die"
I change it to "Aie" "Bie" "Cie" "Eie" "Fie"

then I see which one shows up in the game
