“All these accusations against Durov sound absurd,” one political analyst in the studio declared. “Accusing him of all the crimes that are committed on his platform is like accusing [France's] President Macron of all the crimes that happen in France. It’s the same logic.”

I said the exact same thing about macron here on FR earlier today.

But as we all know, hypocrisy defines leftism.

The script has flipped since the end of the Cold War.

Does using it mean posting on it or merely reading it

I wonder if the internet sleuths can find anything macron or French officials have ever posted on Telegram that can be used against them.

It is my understanding the the Russian military uses telegram extensively for battlefield communication. Thats pathetic. Oh well if it gets shut down maybe that will hasten then end of the war.

“Don’t forget to WIPE your Telegram app”

Don’t expect anything you post on the Internet in any manner or by any means to be a secret from the US government or EU.

Big Brother has Google and Facebook size eyes, T-Mobile and Verizon size ears, and more.

Mark Zuckerberg admits Biden administration ‘pressured’ Facebook to censor Americans

Zuckerberg responded to questions from the House Judiciary Committee, explaining the moderation of online content on social media platforms, including addressing reports that the Biden administration tried to censor multiple social media companies.

“There’s a lot of talk right now, about how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position,” Zuckerberg said in a letter to the committee. “Our platforms are for everyone — we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way.”

Zuckerberg explained that the Biden administration pressured his team for months in 2021 to censor “certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our team when we didn’t agree.”

The CEO admitted that the company made the ultimate decision on what to remove and when, stating that he owns up to the censorship, including on matters related to the COVID-19 global health emergency and pandemic.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg continued. “I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today.”

The Facebook founder also admitted that Facebook demoted the Hunter Biden laptop story, because it was warned by the FBI about a potential Russian disinformation operation regarding Burisma and the Biden family leading into the 2020 election.
