WhatsApp says Russia is trying to block it
Ammon News - WhatsApp said Russia was trying to block its services because the social media messaging app owned by Meta Platforms offered people's right to secure communication, and vowed to continue trying to make encrypted services available in Russia. Russia has started restricting some Telegram and WhatsApp calls, accusing the foreign-owned platforms of failing to share information with law enforcement in fraud and terrorism cases. "WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people's right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over 100 million Russian people," WhatsApp said in a statement. "We will keep doing all we can to make end-to-end encrypted communication available to people everywhere, including in Russia." Telegram said its moderators were using AI tools to monitor public parts of the platform to remove millions of malicious messages every day. "Telegram actively combats harmful use of its platform including calls for sabotage or violence and fraud," Telegram said in a statement. Russia has clashed with foreign tech platforms for several years over content and data storage in a simmering dispute that intensified after Moscow's sent its army into Ukraine in February 2022, with critics saying that Russia is trying to expand its control over the country's internet space.

Trump claims Washington's murder rate is higher than Bogotá or Mexico City
Ammon News - US President Donald Trump has stepped up his criticism of the security situation in Washington, DC, now claiming that the US capital has a homicide rate higher than some Latin American capitals such as Bogotá, Mexico City and Lima. During a press conference on Monday, Trump announced that he would place the Metropolitan Police Department 'under direct federal control' and deploy 800 National Guard troops in an effort to 'take back the city.' US military personnel walk outside the DC Armory after US President Donald Trump's announcement to deploy the National Guard and federalize the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, on August 12. 'The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia; Mexico City, or some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth. It's much higher,' Trump said. Trump said the move to 'liberate' Washington was part of a broader initiative to 'take back control' of cities he said were threatened by violence. 'All is double or triple, so you want to live in places like that? I don't think so,' the president said, referring to the fact that Washington surpasses Latin American cities like Brasilia, Panama City, and San José in homicide rates. CNN
