In the past Google and Facebook supported xmpp(jabber) protocol. That was real step in right direction. You could use your client and OTR plugin to encrypt all communications. It all ended in 2015.

Dolores12··on Why we Forked Firefox and Not Chromium
Vivaldi reports itself as Chrome now, making Chrome numbers even higher
Dolores12··on User Agent Changes
That is so bad idea. Why choose Chrome? Let it be Firefox? Web analytics will show even higher numbers for Chrome, hence developers would not bother to test anywhere but in Chrome.
Dolores12··on Ultrasound destroys 80 percent of prostate cancers in one-year study
This is good video[0] explaining how it works. Chosen resonating waves may destroy bridges, not to mention some cell membrane. The problem is there is no money in that for big pharma & co.

Recently Verizon have blocked all of my yahoo accounts. I've spent some time trying to find any kind of support form to get them restored with no luck. To get support you need pay money now. Perhaps, Archive.org accounts fell under the same ban.

>Telegram founder also lies a lot. First he says that Telegram developers are not in Russia, out of the FSB reach, but later proofs emerge that they work for Russia from the same office where VK developers worked from.

I guess he has to protect his team. US government tried to bribe his programmers to weaken system security.
