I will never understand why people defend this idiot. Plenty of secure chat apps exists in the EU without problems. Matrix for example is used by both the German and the French government. Telegrams CEO is just reaping what he sowed by ignoring French warrants.
Why even bother arresting Telegram’s CEO when Matrix is a thing.
Because almost nobody uses Matrix compared to Telegram. And it’s not even about if some people can slip through the fingers of western intel services, it’s about controlling the narrative and putting the clamps on information and telegram is almost as much of a news site as it’s a live chat. Telegram is just popular enough that it pokes holes into narratives and harms the mainstream media bubble.
Why even bother fining VW for Dieselgate when Tesla is a thing
What does that even mean???
You do NOT need to post this to every technology group on every Lemmy instance.
Isn’t that the way that federation work!?

Arrest or defection? 🤔
He already left Russia a very long time ago, chased out over VK refusing to cooperate essentially. Now VK is very much government controlled
Did they announce the charges?
