Never set up a tech company anywhere near Europe. The US has single tech companies worth more than the entire GDP of european countries.

It’s great the way Europe is converting itself into an open air museum/prison camp.

Seriously though - we should be arresting the French officials involved in this crime against free speech.

France has thousands of police and cannot stop crime.

But somehow Pavel was expected to stop crime with the tool of “content moderation”

Telegram’s founder was arrested today.

Tornado Cash’s co-founder is still in jail.

Samourai Wallet’s founders were also jailed.

Silk Road’s founder is serving two life sentences.

And how many people from the Epstein client list have also been incarcerated?

You think you have free speech on reddit/meta/youtube?

  1. First, Macron hasn't wiped out crime among 70M Frenchmen with all the power of the French State. So it's completely unreasonable to expect Durov to wipe out crime among 1B+ Telegram users with his minimal power of content moderation.

  2. Second, the deeper point is that the French state is deeply uninterested in public safety! They allow violent crime, fundamentalist terrorism, and drug dealing to run rampant in France. Just compare Paris to what it was a few generations ago.

  3. Third, is Macron held personally responsible for every beheading, rape, and robbery that occurs on French soil? Is he jailed when traveling for violating the human rights of French citizens by not "moderating" his community hard enough? No, he is not. Even though the tools of the French state are vastly greater than those of Telegram, over a vastly smaller userbase. Again: Macron has ~70M citizens to deal with, while Telegram has almost 1B users.

  4. Finally, we already know what a real anti-crime policy looks like. It looks like @nayibbukele. And President Bukele is for encryption, and has invited programmers to build on El Salvadoran soil — an offer they'd be well-advised to take up.

  5. So: France is an anarcho-tyrannical regime. It doesn't need sophisticated surveillance to stop drug dealing — because it's all happening in public! They know exactly where the criminals are, and the victims too. They are literally setting up spaces for them to do drugs till they die.

I mean, does France need to imprison the CEO of Telegram to stop this?

If it’s anything like the subreddit bannings there is a 90% chance THEY posted the CP.

European STASI : “I got hundreds of German citizens to arrest - you think I’m going to sit around waiting for someone to post CP when I can create an alt account and post my own?!”

Wait until AI can control those hundreds of drones without a team of blind drone operators bombing weddings and families collecting water

I've still never understood why after the fall of the USSR we didn't strive to make a stronger partnership with Russia.

Isn’t it just the military industrial complex thirsty for war money?

That’s 100% correct- I don’t see why we should create a permanent record linking everything we have ever said for authorities.

I will probably create another account every few weeks.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

We need to ask ourselves- “how has zuckerberg avoided all these charges when his site is allegedly number 1 for most child sextortion crimes?”

Thousands of Jan6th protesters have spent years in prison without trial?

First is the information war.

It can last decades.

Nicola Sturgeon was in charge when the laws in scotland were changed to allow trans rapists into female prisons…

Julia Gillard was the woman who changed the legal definition in Australia of a woman.

It used to be XX chromosome.

Now its “whoever identifies as a woman”

The law was changed by the female australian PM.

She changed the definition of female from XX chromosome to “whoever identifies as a female”

The funniest thing? It was Australia’s female PM who changed the law so that trannies are now allowed in female spaces…
