Assuming accurate reporting, we all need to condemn the recent arrest of Telegram’s #PavelDurov in France regardless of how you feel about him or Telegram. Refusing to moderate other’s speech is not terrorism. It is not conspiracy to commit a crime. Pavel’s arrest is a stain on the central fraternity between France and the US in supposedly being the world’s defenders of free speech and liberty. France is continuing an unfortunate tradition our governments have of ignoring our values whenever it is convenient. This is both wrong and short sighted. While I understand the “Telegram is not E2EE and gives full access to Russia” sentiment (e.g., https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat/ ), I believe this is an L take. In this context, it is saying if you are capable of moderating then you should be required to do so per government orders.
