Gravity was spot on that day
tldr: You need to learn instead of sucking blood and/or being a bot
It’s possible the hackers had access for months or longer to networks the ~~U.S~~ China country uses to make lawful requests for communications data, the newspaper wrote.
I'd be curious how that works on the opposite end of surveillance states.
I'm pretty sure GCHQ here likes my noods
Aye, I've seen this misconception before and suspect it's specific countries in the European continent where you have to register.
I don't know if you're in the UK right now but I can tell you right now that I can go round the corner and buy a SIM card in cash plus a top-up voucher, from someone like this guy

No you don't.
I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.
Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈
edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn't associated with an IMEI I've previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.
:facepalm:
Completely missed the non-capitalisation on the HTC one. Oops
I had both HTC One's and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.
Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.
Which, "government", are you referring to here if you could expand please?
Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?
Yes, we can change, but it's still installed and running services in the background if I recall.
You can disable or remove Chrome depending on your device
I run a simple combo of Firefox and Kiwi Browser so I get a taste of both browser engines and don't really have any issues since I get extensions too in both.
The thing we do need to be observant about is Google Play Services and its tentacles of that sticky little system-priv framework and what it can do. AFAIK, it can still use Chrome even if disabled/removed during a Factory Reset and why there are FRP exploits using Chrome + webviews.
Sticker repository? lol, Telegram has that market cornered and you know it :)
https://matrix.org/ is probably the only reasonable solution to your problem but reading between the lines you're inferring that Telegram is dead in the water.
I'm a popcorn fanantic and await to see the, corns?
Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.
It's scary what a household's tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.
I'm down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS
and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.
Have you tried a factory reset?
