【美国家环境保护局就密西西比州水资源问题展开调查】
财联社10月21日电，据美联社当地时间10月20日报道，美国国家环境保护局（EPA）表示正在调查密西西比州政府机构是否因为拒绝为改善供水系统提供资金而歧视该州非洲裔人口占多数的首府城市。据悉，8月下旬的暴雨加剧了密西西比州首府杰克逊的主要水资源处理设施问题，导致杰克逊的大多数家庭和企业在8月底和9月初连续几天没有自来水。

Telegram has made it easier for its users to communicate, as it has introduced a feature that allows more than 200,000 users in a group chat. However, if the users in a group chat move past 200,000, it changes into "Broadcast Group", but the feature comes with a restriction. Groups with close to 200k members can be converted to a Broadcast Group that allows unlimited members. Only admins can post in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can read along and participate in group Voice Chats," Telegram added.
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
