I think it was more older than young people; but it's true that initially there were a lot of young people, sadly.

It was the first Putin-supported party in Italy

It's just about not using some Google library, not that much more testing would be needed, nor maintainance or "release engineering".

I'd take an untested version over nothing, anyhow.

And I'm not sure that the current version undergoes that much testing, bugs are not very rare.

The Russia report? It says that they didn't seek to assess Russia's impact?

Farage was basically a Putin asset, for years; I don't doubt that a lot of the sentiment was there before any influence, but to my recollection the influence was obvious and very heavy

How? That doesn't mean that you can't fire people

People appointed for their closeness to a party are not too likely to be competent and incorruptible

You can both appreciate Signal overall and be critical of some aspects.

What the user criticizes is due to sheer choices, which affect some users a lot; for example, numberless registration and full cloud backups can only be purchased with a Google or an Apple account, which clashes a bit with the privacy objectives.

And it's not a problem of not having the infrastructure to support other payment methods, since the donations support all the common ones, and there's now even a cryptocurrency integrated in the platform.

Disallowing and ostracizing other clients is a choice, they spent effort to enforce it (for example by adding mechanisms to recognize the official clients).

It doesn't seem to apply only to foreign companies or "imported" GBs

And it applies to free services too, which will recover the expense by increasing the ads

Not every country has a spoil system, there's probably no need to change anyone in the institutions (except those very close to Vučić in dangerous positions)
