The WhatsApp group: Shadow ministers fight them on the beaches* – The Times

Robert Jenrick Just back from the beach, Kemi. It was absolutely disgusting. Rubbish everywhere. Makeshift tents. Gangs of young men throwing bottles. Someone even brandished a machete at me Kemi Badenoch It’s the face tattoos that I find most upsetting. How are you going to get a job, even a McJob which is still a great job which I did once, with a face tattoo? I’m just not sure what we can do. If we criticise them, they’ll vote Reform James Cleverly We could launch a new Keep Britain Tidy initiative. That would be a vote-winner Laura Trott It’s the second biggest issue in my constituency after music in pubs Cleverly I wish I was MP for Sevenoaks Jenrick What are all talking about? Badenoch What are you talking about? Jenrick Calais! The migrant camps! Bravely, I’ve just been down there to see for myself what they’re like. It’s a national emergency. Something must be done NOW! Badenoch Sorry, it sounded like you’d just been to Clacton on the weekend Cleverly My driver once took a wrong turn on the way back to my constituency and I had to spend 15 minutes at Southend while he checked the map.

Discover WhatsApp’s hidden trick for hiding chats with a secret code that no one else can …

Discover WhatsApp's hidden trick for hiding chats with a secret code that no one else can see—so you can protect your privacy Sometimes all you need is privacy. Maybe you just don’t want someone stumbling across a certain WhatsApp chat. Not because you’re doing anything wrong; it could also just be something really personal you would only tell your best friend, maybe some delicate details about work with a colleague. It doesn’t really matter why you would want to protect a conversation. We all have the right to our privacy. WhatsApp is very aware of this, but they also know there may be curious people around you… That’s why they have been giving us ways to protect our conversations for a while now. You can archive chats, or you can mute them. The problem is they still show up, and if someone’s being nosy and scrolling through your messages, they would find them. But here’s the thing almost nobody knows: WhatsApp actually lets you hide chats completely. Like vanished from earth. No folder will appear, nor lock icons. This amazing trick is called Chat Lock, and when you turn on the option for a secret code, it’s privacy at 100%.

Russia clamps down on WhatsApp and Telegram over data sharing – The Guardian

Russia has announced restrictions on the messaging apps WhatsApp and Telegram, accusing the foreign-owned platforms of failing to share information with law enforcement in fraud and terrorism cases. Moscow has clashed with foreign tech platforms for several years over content and data storage in a simmering dispute that intensified after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Critics say Russia is trying to expand its control over the country’s internet space. Vladimir Putin has authorised the development of a state-backed messaging app integrated with government services, as Moscow seeks to establish what it calls digital sovereignty by promoting homegrown services and reducing its dependence on foreign-owned platforms. “In order to counteract criminals … measures are being taken to partially restrict calls on these foreign messengers,” the Interfax news agency quoted the communications regulator Roskomnadzor as saying. “No other restrictions have been imposed on their functionality.” Russia’s digital ministry said: “Access to calls in foreign messengers will be restored after they start complying with Russian legislation.” In a statement, WhatsApp’s owner, Meta, said: “WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people’s right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over

Shuttered dog park and bar in Manayunk will get a new leash on life – The Philadelphia Inquirer

Fetch Park, an Atlanta-based company that combines an outdoor off-leash dog park with a bar for humans, all under one woof (or ruff, take your pick), plans to open its first location outside of Georgia this fall in Manayunk. Fetch Park, whose debut in 2018 makes it one of the earliest entrants in the dog park-bar space, is taking over Bark Social, which closed in November after a year and a half on a site next to the United Artists movie theater at 3720 Main St. The Maryland-based Bark Social and all five locations filed for bankruptcy protection in December. At Fetch Park, which has four locations in greater Atlanta, dogs roam free in a off-leash park overseen by “Woof Wardens” while their owners sip craft cocktails and coffee, eat from a Southern-inspired menu, and socialize. The park will provide dog cooling stations, outdoor TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Access for dogs will be available through daily, monthly, and yearly memberships; rates have not yet been set. Entrance is free for humans, no pup required. Dogs must stay outside, where there is a covered patio in addition to the turf field. » READ MORE: What are the top dog names and

Community-owned open-access network slated for Placerville

News Placerville, in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada, is set to break ground on a $20.2 million fiber-optic broadband project. By: Brad Randall, Broadband Communities An effort to build a city-owned, open-access fiber broadband network in Placerville, California kicks off this week. Construction of the network, to be operated by Placerville Fiber, is backed by a $20.2 million grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). A news release, posted at the Mountain Democrat’s website, said the project will extend services to “more than 2,100 residents and businesses identified as currently unserved. The release reported the CPUC committed funds under the Last Mile Federal Funding Account. “Placerville Fiber is a vital component of California’s broader initiative to bring high-speed internet to rural and underserved communities,” the news release stated. Placerville, located in the Sacramento metro area, is also the county seat for El Dorado County. It had a population of a little over 10,000 residents, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Meanwhile, Placerville Fiber’s website describes the coming open-access network as a city-owned utility offering choice through access to a marketplace of competitive internet service providers (ISPs).
