「犯罪者が #Telegram を悪用するのを抑止するため、利用規約とプライバシーポリシーを更新し、世界中で適用しました。有効な法的要請があった場合、Telegramの利用規約に違反したIPアドレスと電話番号を関係当局に開示できるようになっています」

Huh‽ This is standard operating procedure when a court sends a warrant to any online company or social network.

Now I understand why #France 🇫🇷 detained Durov, as #Telegram probably was not providing these details.

#Ukraine will limit the use of #Telegram by government officials, it has been announced.

Despite its popularity in Ukraine, intelligence chiefs say #Russian special services may have access to user data.

Telegram founder Pavel #Durov was recently arrested in #France.

ICYMI: #Telegram is *not* #encrypted in any meaningful sense. Which means with Pavel in French custody, NATO is almost certainly evesdropping on the Russian military as it communicates “securely”

Remember: a #billionaire means your network almost certainly is nor primarily focused of technology, but rather profitability

X-Sperrung: Streit zwischen Elon Musk und Brasiliens Behörden eskaliert

Ein X-Account polemisiert gegen den für die Blockade von X verantwortlichen Richter. Starlink kündigt an, sich einer richterlichen Anordnung zu widersetzen.

Real decentralization (fedi but not yet #bluesky) solves all these censorship issues, my dudes. We're not having a useful conversation about all this until open protocols are part of it. And somehow every billionaire owner of a social media platform, mainstream journalist and government representative still acts like we haven't proven another way is possible. Are they ignorant or scared of what we'll do to their business models and control of the narrative? #X #twitter #telegram #meta #SocialWeb

The piece of the Pavel Durov story that isn’t getting enough attention is the scandal around Emmanuel Macron granting him French citizenship as part of his effort to attract tech investment.

Brings to mind New Zealand doing something similar with Peter Thiel.

"Although Musk describes himself as a “free speech absolutist”, a gussied-up term that supposes some deeper philosophical thinking behind his actions, this isn’t ideology, it’s grift."

This quote makes me really wonder about someone's motivations:

"If anyone feels like I’m picking on #Matrix, don’t worry: I have far worse things to say about #Telegram, #Threema, #XMPP + #OMEMO, #Tox, and a myriad other projects that are hungry for #Signal’s market share but don’t measure up from a cryptographic security perspective.

If Signal fucked up as bad as these projects, my criticism of Signal would be equally harsh. (And remember, I have looked at Signal before.)"

Derrière l’interpellation de Pavel Durov, cette mystérieuse et arbitraire procédure de «l’étranger émérite»

Avec l’interpellation de Pavel Durov, Emmanuel Macron a dû confirmer qu’il avait bien octroyé la nationalité française au patron de l’application #Telegram par le biais un dispositif exceptionnel. Une procédure politique dont l’usage est presque toujours tenu secret.

27 août: Macron dément avoir octroyé la nationalité française à Pavel Durov.
28 août: L'Elysée reconnaît que Pavel Durov a bien demandé à Macron de le naturaliser lors d'un déjeuner en 2018, selon Le Monde.
29 août: finalement, Macron "assume totalement" l'octroi de la nationalité française à Pavel Durov. Il s'agit d'une procédure exceptionnel pour "des femmes et des hommes" qui "rayonnent dans le monde" assure le président depuis la Serbie 🙅♂️

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.

A thread on what users (in more than one sense of the word) get up to on #Telegram.
