Elon Musk, billionaire owner of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, said after reports of Durov’s detention: “It’s 2030 in Europe and you’re being executed for liking a meme.”
Elmo. Dude. Get your shit together. Stop with the drugs.
Don’t mix our precious Elmo with this clown! 😭
Wow, this guy is either really fucking dumb or he assumes everyone else is. My only fear is that he might be just right enough about the latter.

“The encrypted Telegram, with clo…”
Just a remidner that Telegramm is NOT encrypted by default (you need to Start a secret chat) and groups are NEVER encrypted
Correction: Telegram is not E2EE by default, it is encrypted tho.
Fair point. But weaker encrypted as for example WhatsApp, which at least tells you its e2e, even if meta holds the keys.
Kiss digital privacy good bye in France
What has Telegram got to do with privacy? Russia banning Signal but not Telegram tells you all you need to know.
This is to do with content moderation not encryption.
These two are intertwined though. And the main alternative Meta also has its fair share of allowing criminal content, fake news and propaganda. The question is, who gets to control it.
How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.
This is unrelated to privacy. Telegram isn’t even a private messenger…
There exists digital privacy?
Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.
