Yeah, this is definitely worrying. I've been following this from afar, I'm waiting to see where it goes to see if I should report on it, or if it's just a lot of concern over someone dodging a law or 2

2024-09-12 07:44:50 +0000 UTCA point of concern in your homeland called to my attention by EFF: === The French Detention: Why We're Watching the Telegram Situation Closely === eff.org/deeplinks/2024/08/french-detention-why-were-watching-telegram-situation-closely EFF is closely monitoring the situation in France in which Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov was charged with having committed criminal offenses, most of them seemingly related to the operation of Telegram. This situation has the potential to pose a serious danger to security, privacy, and freedom of expression for Telegram’s 950 million users.
