   I'm seeing some disinformation regarding the problem with #Telegram's CEO arrest in the messages of several people I follow.

   It isn't:

   - privacy: telegram is no good at that
   - interception/snooping by authorities: telegram is us no good at that

   It is:

   They want the ability to censor the communication of people without being officially #censorship.

   Hence the Digital Services Act, and whatever laws have been making the news recently in the UK and France that demand de facto censorship.

     I know, I didn't say it is. But it's objective is the same: disguised censorship.
