    Telegram needs to be shut down, years ago.

    This is textbook fascism.

      It’s okay to not tolerate hatred, fascists and misinformation.

      The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

        You are the fascist who we should not tolerate.

        Telegram is used by almost 1 billion people. Yet you want to shut it down because of political disagreement with what some of those people say.

          A billion people tricked into using malware is still a billion people using malware. Telegram is a Russian spyware and misinformation machine. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/columns/2024/08/27/7472194/

          Putin’s Mouthpiece Demands Release of Durov (a likely fsb agent himself)

          Pavel Durov has secretly traveled to Russia more than 60 times between 2014 to 2022

          Durov concealed that he crossed the border more than 50 times from 2015 to 2022

          • Despite the story that “the FSB took Vkontakte away from Pavel in 2014”, his relationship with the Russian authorities 2015-present was good enough > that he was not afraid of being detained while entering, reentry& long stays & operations in Russia.

          • In response to the publication about his possible ties to Russia, Durov deliberately deceived Ukrainians and the general public, claiming that he > was an exile in Russia and that Telegram had “no ties” to Russia.

          • As proof of his lack of ties to Russia, Pavel claimed that he was no longer a Russian entrepreneur, had dual citizenship in France & the UAE.

          • After his arrest in France and the statements of the Russian authorities, we know that he has a valid Russian passport.

          • Russian authorities are demanding his release.

          Pavel Durov, telegrams owner, repeatedly crossed the border and concealed these 60+ trips into mother russia. For those familiar with Durov’s official position that he has become an exile and cannot return to his country, this fact alone should be interesting, as it probably means that Durov was not telling the truth about his conflict with the Russian authorities.

          But go ahead, keep using Telegram, товарищ.

              Look another American obsessed with Russia!

              A single comment on Russia’s bullshit spyware tactics does not equate with obsession. Are you going to refute the facts or continue to troll?
