It’s all messy politics since the Ukrainian ambassador to Japan visited Yasukuni shrine (the one that’s infamous for honoring WW2 war criminals) which made a huge controversy in South Korean media. There’s still public support for Ukrainians plight, but also jaded cynicism since they see SK being diplomatically pressured into supporting Ukraine (which means risking more tensions with NK and China) while governments in Western Europe and US are taking their time.

A tragedy for the family and the colleagues. On the other hand, Putin’s cronies were killing their own journalists digging up dirts around the Chechen wars. Nothing to be surprised from those gangsters who took over a gas station.

They probably did that to prevent “concerned citizens” from attacking their property.

Implementing an in-house encryption was raising eyebrows already back then. No e2ee as default was also a red flag since it gives users without proper knowledge a false sense of security.

No one wants to be at the receiving end of the Russian roulette.

The early internet also had personal website vanishing or being abandoned all the time. Static webpages don’t need constant maintenance but it’s more noticeable when it’s a community.

At least there are some criticisms. Considering it’s LinkedIn, forever, it will get drowned by a sea of synergy pivoting lunatics.

Bad opsec and illusion of anonymity will likely render all the extra steps null, most likely. Case in point, we’ve been reminding people not to torrent through Tor for years.
