Election: (CSD-Ghana) Backs The NDC’s “Enough is Enough” Protest In Demand For A Credible Voters’Register

Image
The CSD-Ghana believes strongly that the foundation of any free and fair election is a credible register and as such, any effort towards having a credible Voters’ Register must be supported by all democracy lovers. The Electoral Commission has admitted to many errors in the Electoral Roll, as pointed out by the NDC, but has failed to allow for an independent forensic audit into the same. The EC, for example, has admitted that there were illegal vote transfers in Sagnerigu, Pusiga and Tamale South by an Electoral Commission Official in Tamale South. According to the EC, these illegal transfers went through because there was no “liveness check” mechanism in place to prevent such situations.  The NDC says the situation is widespread so there must be an audit. This is a fair and reasonable call to make, but the EC has remained intransigent. CSD-Ghana stands ready to fully participate in this protest and asks other democracy lovers to join us to mount enough pressure on the Electoral Commis

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announces new features to the platform after arrest

Published from Blogger Prime Android App


Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced new features to the platform.

The changes come after his release from prison last week. Durov was arrested in France in August on charges of refusal to cooperate with law enforcement and complicity in managing an online platform “to enable an illegal transaction in an organized group.”

Announcing the new features via his official Telegram channel and on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote “ Today, we’re introducing new features while phasing out a few outdated ones.”

Telegram removes People Nearby feature

The platform has removed the People Nearby feature which allowed users to see — and message — other users who were nearby. It has been replaced by Business Nearby to showcase legitimate, verified businesses.

The company has also disabled new media uploads to Telegraph – the blogging tool.

Telegram has reached 10 million paid subscribers. 10 million people are now enjoying Telegram Premium!
Today, we’re introducing new features while phasing out a few outdated ones.

We’ve removed the People Nearby feature, which was used by less than 0.1% of Telegram users, but had issues with bots and scammers.

In its place, we will be launching “Businesses Nearby”, showcasing legitimate, verified businesses. These businesses will be able to display product catalogs and accept payments seamlessly.

We’ve also disabled new media uploads to Telegraph, our standalone blogging tool, which seems to have been misused by anonymous actors.

While 99.999% of Telegram users have nothing to do with crime, the 0.001% involved in illicit activities create a bad image for the entire platform, putting the interests of our almost billion users at risk.

That’s why this year we are committed to turn moderation on Telegram from an area of criticism into one of praise.
