The firm has not commented on the possibility of customer data exposure yet, presumably because the investigation is still in its early phase.
Any countries want to stop all funding until claims can be investigated, or do they prefer to stick to their double standards?
Both things can true. And in this case they are.

It really depends on each person’s threat model. But there are a few things everyone would benefit from. Like VPN, email aliasing, password manager, 2FA/MFA. They don’t have any convenience cost and in most cases make your life easier.
If you are interested in learning more:
If you read the blog post you would there are 0 mentions of VPNs there. VPNs have very limited purpose, and it’s just a small tool in the arsenal of privacy.

Europe is moving away from the track gauge used by Russia/Belarus, so it’s less of a factor now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Transport_Network
RCS doesn’t support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.
This is similar to how casual users on Windows should be limited to a non-admin account, to limit vectors for malware.

As they should. Everyone is welcome to their religious beliefs, but they shouldn’t push them on other people, let alone the government.
How about the false positives? You want your name permanently associated with child porn because someone fucked up and ruined your life? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/googles-scans-private-photos-led-false-accusations-child-abuse
The whole system is so flawed that it has like 20-25% success rate.
Or how about this system being adopted for anything else? Guns? Abortion? LGBT related issues? Once something gets implemented, it’s there forever and expansion is inevitable. And each subsequent government will use it for their personal agenda.
My guess it’s their way to fight the social media trend of people only reading what embedded and not clicking on actual links.
It’s from the embedded meta tag used to generated previews in social media.

Later this year, at least 325 other healers will undergo the training and become certified HIV counselors.
“At this point, we now have evidence that indicates that the attackers were able to take files from a small number of file servers used by our associates primarily for daily and routine tasks. These servers represent seven of the approximately 25,000 servers across our network,” an Ascension spokesperson said.
They are not exchanging yuan into rubles. They are using their yuan reserves to buy from China/India and China/India is paying them in yuans for oil and gas, so they are getting restocked without need for exchange. Which has double benefit for China, since it’s strengthening their currency and giving them very cheap below market value goods. They are theoretically losing cash since if they were able to sell at full market price they would get 4 times that, but it’s not significant enough to hurt them too much. But that might change soon, since Russia is trying to make China pay full price without having any leverage.
The sanctions would have worked if they had nobody to trade with, but China/India won’t pass an opportunity for cheap oil/gas, which they desperately require for their growth. Russia also have the 4th largest currency reserves in the world just for such occasion. Putin might be a war criminal, but he’s not stupid.
It did have an impact on every day Russians, but even that Russia tried to minimize by keeping interest rates low at the start of the war/sanctions and strictly controlling the exchange of rubles into any other currency. Only now they increased them to stop bleeding cash, even if they can sustain it for longer.
But all of that can change on a dime, geopolitics is a hot mess. US trying to make friends with India now, so they maybe decide to pressure them to stop buying from Russia or China might get offended by recent Russia’s demands for higher price and tries to put them in their place. Who the fuck knows.
It’s possible, but they usually tend to infiltrate NGOs, not create them and do the work. But do you have any proof?
