@60minutes: Russia charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and placed him on an international wanted list. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison in Russia. The charges against Durov come as Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country. It is part of a long-term effort to bring the internet under the Kremlin's full control that has intensified since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Lesley Stahl spoke with Durov in 2016, after the encrypted texting app Telegram was believed to be used by ISIS during the 2015 Paris attacks, which killed 130 people. "If you allow this tool to be used for good, there will always be some people who would misuse it,” said Durov in 2016. He said he founded Telegram to circumvent Russian authorities. #telegram #russia
Yeah, terrorists also use emails, letters, smartphones, cars, clothes, so it should be banned by her logic 💀

How is allowing people to protect your personal data a crime. If it’s so then I don’t our WhatsApp messages are not encrypted as they say and disappearing messages doesn’t really delete our chats

Many good things can be used for bad things. Kitchen knives can be used to hurt people. Cars can be used to ram into crowds or hide ied’s. Banning telegraph makes as much sense as banning those things.

1. Telegrams not encrypted 2. I honestly think he works for Russia and all this stuff is just theatre and also a good way for Russian gov to have an excuse to track and help him or something. I don't trust his face, although I'm just going off this short clip lol. Plus what do you mean armed policemen tried to get into his apartment? Tried and failed? Seems suspicious. Did he have a militia or what's going on? Why did they fail?
