lol since i was asking before about social media alternatives and what people like to use i went to look up two old ones i had likeee probably in 2015/2016 but never used which was ello and peach and it turns out ello died last year and the peach app is like... apparently people still use it but it's "not available for [my] device" on the play store, their twitter hasn't updated since 2019 and when i go to their website it redirects to this. interesting

anyway for my own resource i'm putting a list of other ones i'm aware of here. if any of you use these and have any thoughts on them feel free to let me know i'm interested in this :]

mastodon - having countless different "instances" that all require a different login is confusing. i made accounts in 2018 on mastodon.social (the main one) and one on mastodon.cloud and i don't even know what the second one is or how it's different. also can't change your username so i have a danganronpa one forever

bluesky - another twitter clone. just fine idk

cohost - i Like This One because it's cute and does something different (i.e. isn't just twitter again like the others LOL) more blog-like i find which i enjoy. and fun personalisation where i think you can do almost basically whatever you want with html/css? it seems to have a much nicer atmosphere among the userbase than mastodon and bluesky do too

the only thing i really don't like atm is how the likes/shares on posts are completely invisible even on your OWN posts... like whatever about other peoples posts that's fine but i'd like to see on my Own Post if it's being shared around with someone else's comment on it or something? i dunno... it'd be nice if it was an opt in/out thing but idk if they'd ever even do that since having that stuff be invisible is their Whole Thing

telegram - ?? i have no idea about this one. i thought it was just an instant messaging app like whatsapp but i've seen people talk about it like it has some kind of feed so....? dunno!

plurk - been around much longer than the others (2008) yet i've never seen anyone talk about it before. based in taiwan so a rare non-american social media site which is always a plus. i made an account last night out of curiosity but i find it a little hard to navigate and it has an.. interesting layout

^ using this guy as a way to break up the post a bit. heart emoji

then there's the art-based social media apps.. i think there's probably quite a few of these but the ones i Personally know are cara.app, sheezy.art (cheers janssi JDNJDF), artfol.co

i don't know if artstation counts but i didn't like how professional that one felt LOL bit too scary for me. cara kindaaaa gives off that vibe too but i haven't had more than a cursory glance at it so! i have an artfol account but i would always forget to update it so it's not been used for 2 years.. i WILL make a sheezy so soon just been busy/lazy

anywaysssss idgaf about the others i mentioned honestly but I REALLY LIKE COHOSTTTTT MAKE AN ACCOUNT AND FOLLOW ME ON COHOST

#poast #peach having such a nothing name doesn't help in trying to find anything about it lol

WhatsApp Clone Using HTML and CSS

What does cloning a website means?

To make a copy

Cloning a website means copying or modifying the design or script of an existing website to create a new website. Website cloning allows a designer to create a website without writing scripts from scratch.

Any website can be cloned. You are also free to integrate some additional new features while cloning your website.

Cloning a website is one of the proven methods you can use to learn web development faster. It provides basic to advanced ideas about how websites work and work, and how to integrate them.

Let’s learn how to clone a website just using HTML5 and CSS in a simple way.

Will take an example of WhatsApp Website and will clone it.

WhatsApp is a free cross-platform messaging service. iPhone and Android smartphone, Mac and Windows PC users can call or exchange text, photo, voice and video messages with anyone in the world for free, regardless of the recipient's device. WhatsApp uses Wi-Fi connections to communicate across platforms. This differs from Apple iMessage and Messages by Google, which require a cellular network and Short Message Service (SMS).

Key WhatsApp Terminology

Cross Platform

Messaging apps

End-to-end encryption

Video & Audio Calls

WhatsApp Business

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) –

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language that is standard markup language to create web pages and web-based applications

It represents the structure of a web page

It comprises of series of elements which tells the browser how to display the content

Basic Structure of a HTML Document –

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>WhatsApp Clone</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>let's learn Web Development</h1>

<p>My first project - WhatsApp Cloning</p>

</body>

</html>

Let’s Explain the above code –

- It is used to defines that the document is HTML5 document

- It is the root elements on an HTML Page

- It contains all the meta information about the HTML Page

- This element contains all the visible content of the page, such as paragraph, headlines, tables, list, etc.

- It defines the largest heading for any topic, it ranges from -

- It defines a paragraph in the HTML page

Elements –

It is the collection of start and end tag, and in between content is inserted between them.

It major components are–

Opening Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content starts.

Closing Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content material ends.

Content – Whatever written inside the opening and closing tag is content.

Some Most Commonly used tags are –

– Used to define a document or section, as it contains information related to titles and heading of related content.

– The navigation tag is used to declare navigation sections in HTML documents. Websites typically have a section dedicated to navigation links that allows users to move around the site

– Anchor tag is used for creating hyperlink on the webpage. It is used to link one web page from another.

– It is used to define a paragraph. Content written inside tag always starts from a new line.

– It is used to define heading of a web page. There are 6 different heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. H1 is the main heading and the biggest followed by h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6.

- It is used to group multiple elements together. It helps in applying CSS.

- Image tag is used to embed an image in a web page.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) –

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, that describes HTML elements that appear on screen, paper, or other media.

It used for designing web pages, in order to make web pages presentable.

It is standardized across Web Browsers and is one of the core languages of the open web system/technology.

CSS Selector –

CSS Selectors are used to select or target the element that you want to style. Selectors are part of the CSS ruleset. CSS selectors select HTML elements by ID, class, type, attributes, etc.

Types of CSS Selectors –

Element Selector – It selects the HTML elements directly using name

ID Selector – It selects the id attribute of an element. ID is always unique, in the code. So, it is used to target and apply design to a specific or a unique element.

Class Selector - It selects the class attribute of an element. Unlike ID selector class selectors can be same of many elements.

Universal Selector – It selects all the elements of the webpage, and apply changes to it.

Group Selector – It is used when same style is to be applied on many elements. It helps in non-duplication of code.

Different ways of applying CSS -

CSS can be applied in different ways –

Inline CSS –

Styling is done using different attributed inside an element itself. It can be used to apply unique style for a single element.

<h1 style="color:blue;">Let's learn Web Development</h1>

Internal CSS –

It is defined or written within the <style> element, nested instead <head> section of HTML document.

It is mainly used when need to apply CSS on a particular page.

h1 {

color:blue;

}

</style>

External CSS –

It is used to apply CSS on multiple pages. As all the styling is written in a different file with an extension “.css” Example style.css.

It is written instead head tag.

Let’s implement the above learnt concepts –

In this example will clone a static page of WhatsApp using Internal CSS-

<!DOCTYPE html>

5 Half-Baked Predictions about Threads 🪡

🧵 Threads = Google+ It will probably last longer than Google’s foray into a true social network, but Threads is skyrocketing because it’s already building off other Meta products. And, much like Google did, look for Threads to be integrated into everything else Meta: WhatsApp, Oculus, their idea of the metaverse, even the Facebook app itself. 🧵Threads is the savior of Meta’s ad business Meta has lost massive troves of user data due to ad blockers, privacy sandboxes, and iOS App Tracking Transparency. They need more signals, coming in with more velocity. Nothing moves faster than a microblogging network, and Twitter (before acquisition) was making ~10% of their revenue off data licensing. More data = better ad targeting. New platform = new ad units and packages to sell. 🧵 Threads will also save Instagram Kylie Jenner-gate already told us that users (and especially influencers) want Instagram to be the place for photos, not so much Reels. TikTok already has short vertical video boxed out so well, and with Twitter becoming…whatever it is, users were already using Instagram more for *text* than ever before. Threads lets everyone get along: Instagram stays focused on photos, and celeb or influencer “I’m sorry you feel that way” confessions go on Threads, rather than posting screenshots of a Notes app page. 🧵 Threads will NOT put Meta in jeopardy with the FTC The FTC has been giving Meta the side-eye for a long time, mainly for user data privacy and anticompetitive practices. Cloning another social network *would* have been a bad move in this environment, *if* the network you were copying wasn’t already owned by another FTC pariah: Elon Musk. 🧵 Threads = Fediverse “Big Bang” You’ve been sleeping on the fediverse. You’ve vaguely heard about Mastodon or PixelFed, and possibly the ActivityPub protocol. It’s time to dive in and go deep: Threads at least *will* be part of the fediverse, and is arguably already its biggest network. (More here: https://help.instagram.com/169559812696339)

✨ Maginet ✨

Let's talk about Internet of Magix. It's called "Maginet" like "MAGIx"+"interNET". But I wanna talk about social medias at the Magic Universe. We, people of Earth, have a lot of social medias. Sometimes I think that we have too many of these 😅 So I mixed some our apps to making concepts of wizards' apps.

The first app of my fanon is Tox. I love Tox because it our Twitter with dm like Telegram has. I love Twitter, love to tweet about me and I love Telegram's stickers. So I have mixed Tg and Twi. My fanon Valtor loves "toxing" and arguing with other "toxics", has a username «@/Forteller» and uses different languages at his toxies.

The second app is FairyChat. I don't understand why we use WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Signal or anything else. They all have one sets of functions. Why we cannot use just one app??? Persons of Magix can. I have find a logo for FairyChat.

The third app is Tondo. Tondo is social network like a FairyChat but without text messages only videomessages with. Do you remember the Clubhouse? I think that courtiers use this app because (you cannot find any information at these fucking videomessages!) noone will be able to say that their accounts have been hacked. No "Oh no it's not me at the message!". No. We all saw your face and heard your voice, go to a jail.

The fourth app is Yammy. It's look like Instagram+TikTok. All of us love Tiktok, right? But some people think that Inst are becoming a clone of TT. So in my fanon these apps are one app ✨ My fanon Valtor often posts selfies and video of his tales. He like to talk and a lot of persons like to listen to him.

The fifth app is Widron. It's look like an YouTube/Twich and its name is "WItch"+ "caulDRON". There are streams and long videos at the Widron.

Of course, there are many services at the Maginet I didn't think about. I mean, yeah, they have analoges of Google, OnlyFans, Discord, Netflix, bank's apps — but it is too hard for me.

Can Private Investigators Retrieve Deleted Text Messages?

In today’s digital age, text messaging has become one of the primary modes of communication. From casual chats to business transactions, vital information is often shared through SMS or instant messaging apps. But what happens when these messages are deleted? Can they be retrieved, and if so, how? This question becomes particularly pertinent in the realm of private investigations, where uncovering hidden or erased information can be crucial to solving a case. This blog will delve into whether private investigators can retrieve deleted text messages, how they might do so, and the legal and technical challenges they face.

The Importance of Text Messages in Investigations

Text messages often play a pivotal role in various types of investigations. Whether it’s a case of infidelity, corporate espionage, or criminal activity, the information stored in text messages can serve as compelling evidence. The rise of instant messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram has only increased the relevance of digital communications in investigative work. However, people often delete these messages, either to protect their privacy or to cover their tracks, leading to the question: can deleted text messages be recovered?

The Basics of Text Message Deletion

When a text message is deleted, it doesn’t immediately vanish into thin air. Instead, the message is often marked as deleted and the space it occupies is marked as available for new data. Until that space is overwritten by new information, the deleted data may still exist in the device’s memory. This is where data recovery techniques come into play.

Data Recovery: The Technical Perspective

Private investigators use various data recovery methods to retrieve deleted text messages. These methods rely on understanding the underlying technology of data storage and deletion. Here are some of the most common techniques:

Forensic Software Tools: Specialized forensic tools are designed to recover deleted data from electronic devices. These tools can scan a device’s memory for remnants of deleted text messages and other data. Examples of such software include Cellebrite, EnCase, and Oxygen Forensic Suite. These tools are often used by law enforcement agencies and private investigators to extract information that is not accessible through regular means.

Physical Access to the Device: Physical access to the target device is usually necessary for data recovery. The investigator connects the device to a forensic workstation, where they can use the software tools to scan for deleted messages. In some cases, the device might need to be rooted or jailbroken, especially if the messages were deleted from an app with strong encryption like WhatsApp or Signal.

Cloud Backups: Many messaging apps and smartphones automatically back up data to the cloud. If the user hasn’t deleted these backups, a private investigator might be able to retrieve deleted messages by accessing these cloud backups. This method often requires obtaining the user’s credentials or legal permission to access the cloud account.

SIM Card Cloning: SIM card cloning can sometimes be used to retrieve deleted text messages. By creating a duplicate of the original SIM card, investigators may gain access to messages stored on the card. However, this method is less common due to the limited storage capacity of SIM cards and the prevalence of cloud storage.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

The ability to retrieve deleted text messages is not just a matter of technical expertise. Legal and ethical considerations play a significant role in how private investigators approach data recovery.

Legal Constraints

Consent: In most jurisdictions, retrieving deleted text messages without the consent of the device’s owner can be illegal. Unauthorized access to someone’s phone or cloud account could result in criminal charges, including violations of privacy and anti-hacking laws. Private investigators must navigate these legal constraints carefully to avoid crossing ethical and legal boundaries.

Court Orders and Subpoenas: In some cases, private investigators may work alongside law enforcement or attorneys who can obtain court orders or subpoenas. These legal instruments can compel phone companies or cloud service providers to release data, including deleted messages. However, this process is typically reserved for serious criminal investigations or civil litigation.

Admissibility in Court: Even if deleted messages are successfully retrieved, their admissibility in court may be challenged. The opposing side might argue that the data was obtained illegally or tampered with, leading to a potential exclusion of the evidence. This is why maintaining a clear chain of custody and following proper forensic procedures is crucial for private investigators.

Ethical Considerations

Client Integrity: Private investigators have a duty to uphold the integrity of their profession. Engaging in unethical practices, such as hacking or unauthorized access, can not only harm the investigator’s reputation but also jeopardize the case they are working on. It’s essential to maintain transparency with clients about the limitations and risks involved in retrieving deleted text messages.

Privacy Concerns: The retrieval of deleted text messages can infringe on an individual’s privacy rights. Private investigators must weigh the potential benefits of recovering such data against the ethical implications of violating someone’s privacy. This is particularly important in cases involving sensitive personal information.

Challenges in Retrieving Deleted Text Messages

While the technology to retrieve deleted text messages exists, it is not without its challenges. Various factors can influence the success rate of data recovery:

Time Sensitivity: As mentioned earlier, when a text message is deleted, it remains in the device’s memory until it is overwritten by new data. The longer the time since the message was deleted, the higher the likelihood that it has been overwritten, making recovery more difficult or even impossible.

Device Encryption: Many modern smartphones come with built-in encryption, which protects the data stored on the device. While this is a great feature for user privacy, it also makes data recovery more challenging. In some cases, even forensic tools might struggle to bypass encryption without the correct credentials.

App-Specific Challenges: Different messaging apps have varying levels of security and data retention policies. For example, WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, and the app automatically deletes messages after a certain period if they are not backed up. On the other hand, apps like Telegram offer self-destructing messages that delete themselves after a set time, leaving no trace. These app-specific features can complicate the process of retrieving deleted messages.

Data Corruption: In some cases, the data related to deleted messages may be corrupted or incomplete, making recovery difficult. This can occur due to software glitches, hardware failures, or improper handling of the device after deletion.

Case Studies: Success and Failure in Message Retrieval

To better understand the real-world application of message retrieval, let’s explore a few case studies that highlight both the successes and challenges faced by private investigators:

Case Study 1: Recovering Deleted Messages in an Infidelity Case

In one instance, a private investigator was hired to confirm suspicions of infidelity. The client believed that their spouse was using text messages to communicate with a potential partner, but the spouse had deleted the messages. The investigator gained access to the spouse’s phone and used forensic software to recover several deleted messages that provided clear evidence of the affair. The recovered messages were crucial in the client’s decision to proceed with a divorce, and they were also presented as evidence in court, where they were deemed admissible.

Case Study 2: The Challenges of Encrypted Messages in a Corporate Espionage Investigation

In another case, a private investigator was hired by a company suspecting that one of its employees was leaking sensitive information to a competitor. The employee had been using a secure messaging app with end-to-end encryption, and they had deleted all conversations after sending them. Despite using advanced forensic tools, the investigator was unable to retrieve the deleted messages due to the app’s strong encryption protocols and lack of cloud backups. This case illustrates the limitations investigators face when dealing with modern encryption technologies.

Alternatives to Retrieving Deleted Text Messages

When direct retrieval of deleted text messages is not possible, private investigators often explore alternative methods to gather the needed information. Here are a few alternatives:

Metadata Analysis: While the content of the messages may be deleted, metadata related to those messages—such as timestamps, sender and receiver information, and message size—might still be recoverable. Metadata can provide valuable clues, even if the actual content is no longer accessible.

Witness Interviews: If retrieving the messages themselves is not possible, investigators might turn to individuals who were involved in the communication. Interviews with these witnesses can sometimes uncover the content of deleted messages or at least provide context.

Surveillance: In some cases, real-time surveillance of the suspect’s activities can provide alternative evidence that might replace the need for deleted messages. This could involve monitoring the suspect’s online activity, following their physical movements, or recording their conversations.

Social Engineering: Social engineering techniques can sometimes be used to gather information indirectly. For instance, investigators might trick the suspect into revealing details of the deleted messages or sending new messages that can be intercepted.

Conclusion

The retrieval of deleted text messages by private investigators is a complex process that depends on various technical, legal, and ethical factors. While it is possible to recover deleted messages under certain conditions, the success of such efforts is never guaranteed. The rapid advancement of encryption technologies and the increasing awareness of privacy have made it more challenging for investigators to access deleted data.

Private investigators must navigate these challenges with caution, ensuring that they adhere to legal constraints and ethical standards. When direct retrieval is not possible, they often rely on alternative methods to gather the necessary information. Ultimately, the role of a private investigator is to uncover the truth while respecting the boundaries of privacy and legality.

If you are considering hiring a private investigator to retrieve deleted text messages, it is essential to discuss the feasibility and legal implications of such an endeavor upfront. Understanding the limitations and challenges involved w

Beware

During the past few weeks, we has continued to receive complaints from consumers concerning new fraudulent trading platforms that are operating in the Belgian market.

These trading platforms try to arouse consumers’ curiosity by placing cam ads on social media or online video platforms. In these fake ads, a (well-known) person often explains how to get rich quick. Such trading platforms also sometimes use mobile applications to lure victims. These fake ads or mobile applications often offer a virtual currency, trading software or a training course. After clicking on the ad or downloading the mobile app and having given their contact details, the victims are usually swiftly called by fraudsters presenting a specific investment proposal (in shares, alternative investment products, virtual currencies, etc.). Other trading platforms contact consumers through dating apps and fake social media accounts. Furthermore, many trading platforms use WhatsApp and Telegram.

We notes that several fraudulent trading platforms offer a so-called 'affiliate programme' to consumers. These programmes exhibit signs of a pyramid scheme.

These platforms act very aggressively. They often claim to hold an authorization by a fake financial authority, displaying it so as to seem trustworthy. Scammers even try to persuade the victims to allow them to take control of their computer remotely in order to make certain money transfers. The fraudsters also try to convince the victims to invest increasingly higher amounts of money. They also make promises of repayment in exchange for one last money transfer. This is a technique to collect even more money from their victims.

Victims who agree to do so complain in particular about:

finding themselves unable to recover their money, or

simply not hearing any more from the platform with which they have invested their money.

These are most likely cases of investment fraud. Fraudsters not only act without the necessary authorizations, but they also divert the investors’ funds. In such cases, investors are unable to recover their money because these illegal service providers are generally located abroad.

We noticed that the following websites for trading softwares and courses refer to fraudulent online trading platforms:
