I’m conflicted by this…

Sure, tons of shady stuff goes on on Telegram – but the same is true for Signal (it’s just a less popular app), and any other “more secure than the norm” platform.

Is this arrest along the same lines as politicians wanting to ban E2EE, or is it a proper consequence of laissez-faire moderation?

Is it even possible to make a platform suitable for freedom fighters without also making it valuable for criminals?
