   BREAKING: Founder Of Telegram ARRESTED For Not "Moderating" - what they really mean is not creating backdoor for enacting censorship

   Translates into further war on encryption - I'll probably talk about it on a video coming up

     People are rushing in to nit-pick that telegram isn't a secure messager (it isn't) and that it's filled with spam/junk (it is) but there's an important truth to what you're saying.
     
     E2EE isn't an end to itself, it's a means to privacy outside third-party control. The EU (and many other governments) have made it explicitly clear they view any and all communications they can't monitor control or shut down are a problem.
     
     You don't have to like Telegram or durov to see this as a troubling sign within a broader pattern that is only hard to see when ones wishes not to see.
