Today marks the first anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine #cyberwar that killed <checks Microsoft's & Mandiant's reports> no one.

Let's go over last year's mass cyberwar #panic. We'll begin with one of the earliest calls to #boycott @Kaspersky:
There was an immediate feeling that everyone must cancel all Kaspersky subscriptions, as if customers -- especially corporate clients -- had a competitor's product waiting in the wings to replace it in some trivial fashion:
Likewise, there was an immediate plea to [translated] "remove Kaspersky from your PC. Now. Immediately." Again, as if customers -- especially corporate clients -- could do it trivially and without serious consequences:

"in which I address some criticisms (some fair, others not)" ⤵️🤨

Let's talk cybersecurity.

Historically, those who were critiqued felt victimized. These victims often lumped non-critique #heckling with legit #criticism to shield their egos.

The use of #comedy tools in…
…legitimate criticism led many (perhaps most) victims in #cybersecurity to cry out that humor negates legitimacy: "the stakes are too high for <THIS|ME>to be taken so lightly!"

Yet these same victims adore e.g. Jon Oliver for his brutal use of #comedy in legitimate criticism.
And here we arrive at the crux of the matter:

The victims, not the #elements of legitimate #criticism, decide what is "fair" in cybersecurity.

This way, anything that is not ✌️criticism✌️ may be labeled as such so victims can associate legit critics to their SCUM counterparts.

Global Times has been in the headlines itself and gets special coverage in #Gravitas

So, I thought of looking up the website for more coverage and found out that most of the reports are way opposite which is reported by our media

On fiddling their website, I also found out that they have an app too. On checking the Playstore Reviews, it got me more interested as most of the reviews were the same and I quote "The App won't function unless you grant access to your Storage".
#RemoveChinaApps

I tried the app and the claim was true. It is understandable that storage access is required if you want to serve offline content or to show content faster when opened later but not able to view anything at all what do they want then? Pretty much sums up the reviews.

1) Why sudden aggression of China from the Tibet & Aksai Chin sides against India in Ladakh?

Three reasons:
a) Divert from Corona virus probe- bullying.
b) Create negative image for investors moving into India.
c) To intimidate India into not build road infrastructure in Ladakh.
2) Watch this video from #Gravitas to learn more on why Chinese Military, which reports to the Communist Party in Beijing, is rabble rousing in North Indian border during a global pandemic..

3) This article by P Stobdan, is the best I have come across, exposing the land grabbing tactics of Communists of China, against a Democratic India.

India lost Nagtsang in 1984, Nakung in 1991, Lungma-Serding in 1992 and the last bit of Skakjung in 2008.
