TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram
I would vaguely imagine that they aren't going to be very happy about the Threadiverse when they discover us. There's no global moderator team to make moderate things.
It certainly is against the GDPR to federate with US instances. US law enforcement could get their hands on our data!
Depends if it's encrypted
Telegram isn't either. Certainly not by default, and definitely not public channels.
Telegram is encrypted, just not e2e.
There's moderation per community and per server. There's no "fediverse moderator", of course, but I think you're vaguely worrying for nothing.
At some point the Fediverse is going to have to protect itself from Europe.
2015: A Russian performance artist, Pyotr Pavlensky -- notable for some high-profile actions, like nailing his scrotum to Red Square with a nailgun -- is arrested after he sets fire to the door to the headquarters of the FSB.
France extends him political asylum.
2017: Pavlensky is arrested after he sets fire to the door to the Bank of France.
There's a certain degree of symmetry with Pavel Durov.
I don't really know much about this topic even after reading the article. It does bother me however that there's so many channels/server on Telegram full of spammers that seem to offer drugs and prostitution. It's almost like those were the only things that exist in this world. Which is such a huge waste of a chat program.
Also who the hell listens to any of the nonsense influencers/politicians write in their heavily biased channels, seriously, I can't find a sane reason to join those, yet strangely that seems to be the only reason the masses use this tool. It's all just confusing.
Why arrest him? Why not threaten to block the app in France or something like that?
And why only arrest him? Should the discord creators also be arrested for some shady channels? Should Elon Musk be arrested because twitter is the equivalent of fhe fifth circle of hell?

Stop asking question and go back to work
So they can make a very convincing case for a backdoor, in exchange for his release. And maybe some compensation for continued cooperation. Both come out winning and they get to claim nothing happened.
Government cyber security dealings as usual. or not. who knows?
It's one of the most popular social media apps in Russia that is not banned or blocked. I would bet they already have a backdoor for the Russian police and intelligence agency...
I don't use Telegram because I don't think it's secure, but this is still bullshit.
Yea, no way I'm giving them my number
You don’t have to, you can use telegram with username only
You still need a phone number to sign up
