Telegram messaging app CEO Pavel Durov arrested in France
Russia’s embassy in France has demanded consular access to the 39-year-old Franco-Russian billionaire.
I wish I knew enough about Telegram to comment.
^^^^
After I saw who was publicly supporting him I decided to lay back and observe first.
That's a good idea...& I just didn't want to jump on the bandwagon....
The anti-racism campaign group Hope Not Hate concluded that Telegram had become the “app of choice” for racists and violent extremists and “a cesspit of antisemitic content” with minimal moderation or effort from the app to curb extremist content.
Whelp... I had a feeling

Telegram is one of the last remaining communication appsthat have yet to surrender and succumbed to government pressure despite their many attempts.
If you value privacy, anonymity, and free speech, then this tool must not fall into the hands of the government.
Hmmmm....
Also seems to be being use be the wrong people specifically for that reason.
Which isn't really the creators fault.
Thanks....

Yep.
They are sending a clear message to others. It's the Silk Road all over again. I cannot be held responsible for what people do with my products. Imagine if someone used their Honda Accord to kill someone, and the government decided to punish their Honda directly because they made the vehicle that was used in the murder.
That place is a treasure trove.
It's the internet/intranet before censorship took place.
But you also have to admit this is being used for easily accessible easily facilitated easily mobilized easily organized EVIL
that just can't go unchecked
Can we agree on that?
If that were why they arrested him, then it would make some sense, but they could be rebutted by the fact that other platforms are also allowed to serve as communication apps for wrongdoers. Twitter had more CP/Pedo shit on there before Elon prioritized cleaning it up. This was well known and the previous executives did nothing. That's the only good thing he did, really. Reddit is guilty of illegal trade and file sharing as well. IG is guilty of pedo shit. They went after Telegram because he refused to give them govt access to spy on the public. Governments are highly hypocritical and will do whatever it takes to gain more power to control the masses.
Not one single lie told
But when I saw Elon and RFK immediately jump to his defense?
Something felt off.
Protect Telegram at all cost
not a good look at all
we're getting closer and closer to full-blown censorship

You also add that social scores are already here without stating that and cars monitor your driving habits. We are pretty much just numbers for this companies and their algorithms.
